Ganz schnell brach die Zeit der Masken an. So manchen warf sie aus der Bahn, nicht jeder kam heil aus den pandemischen Wirren. Die Gedichte führen in unser Nachbarland Tschechien, ein Besuch in Prag wird abgestattet. Friedenslinien in Nordirland kommen in Sichtweite. Der Leuchtturmwärter steigt die Stufen hinauf. Ungelebtes Leben rückt an uns heran, die Ablagerungen nach versagten Freiheiten. In den Büchern stehen die Namen von Königen, vom Scheitern wird zu wenig geredet. Rote Listen wachsen, welche Vögel kommen noch einmal zurück? Göttinnen unter sich zelebrieren ihre Auren. Weltenschach wird gespielt. Die Kompassnadel der Weißen Rose stellt Fragen: Was muss heute Orientierung sein? Glückstage schneiden sich ein, sanfte Umarmungen, Küsse. Die Spinnenverstecke finden sich nach dem Winter.
Jacob Bessey (1755-ca. 1810) from New York married Elizabeth Slough from Pennsylvania and became a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War, serving with Col. Butler's Rangers and the Loyalist Indians of Joseph Brant. After the war ended, Jacob and Elizabeth immigrated to a land grant on Ten Mile Creek in Ontario (the land was later part of Grantham Township, which later became part of the city of St. Catherines, Ontario). Jacob's brother Robert also was a Loyalist immigrant, but he was caught when he returned to New York to bring his aged father and his children back to Canada; Robert was tried for treason. Descendants and relatives lived in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and elsewhere.

Here is Valentino, "the Sheik," who was hardly the effeminate lounge lizard he's been branded as; Mary Pickford, who couldn't have been further from the adorable little creature with golden ringlets that was her film persona; Marion Davies, unfairly pilloried in Citizen Kane; the original "Phantom" and "Hunchback," Lon Chaney; the beautiful Talmadge sisters, Norma and Constance. Here are the...
