written by Franz Kafka (1883-1924) |
Two boys were sitting
on the wall by the jetty
playing dice.
A man was reading a newspaper
on the steps of a monument
in the shadow of a hero
wielding a sabre.
A young girl was filling her tub
with water at a fountain.
A fruit seller was lying close to his produce
and looking out to sea.
Through the empty openings of the door
and window of a bar two men could be seen
drinking wine in the back.
The landlord was sitting at a table in the front dozing.
A small boat glided lightly into the small harbor, as if it were being carried over the water.
A man in a blue jacket climbed out onto land and pulled the ropes through the rings.
The story continues here
and another Kafka page is there.
