Strangely Enough,
Thinking back to my home country which doesn’t exist anymore:
East Germany, the German Democratic Republic,
nineteen years after the fall of the wall, it is still a very fresh feeling,
Back then I was already an adult.
There is so much I miss and a lot I don’t want to have back,
it’s the past – no return is possible.
Being far away from it – in every sense – makes it easier to look back.
strangely enough – it both comforted and threatened - an attempt at nostalgia
