Primal Death by August Stramm (b. 1874, Münster, Germany, d. 1915, Kobryn, Belarus)

The German war poet August Stramm was among the first of the expressionist poets and a captain in the Prussian Army in World War I. He fought in 70 battles in all before he was killed during hand-to-hand combat on the Eastern Front.

In a letter on February 14, 1915, Stramm wrote, 'But there is horror in me, there is horror around me, bubbling, surging around, throttling, ensnaring. There's no way out anymore.'

Le stelle inimicano Finestra sghignazza tradimento Rami strozzano Monti cespugli sfaldano frusciando Stridulano Morte.

The night exhales kisses around dozing foreheads. The thud of equipment dulls. Aggression grasps and slurs dreams through ruts. Rumbles grind. Houses skewer shadows. Stars well into eyes and drown.

Pedras hostis Janelas riem traição Ramos estrangulam Do monte o mato restolhante escama O estrilo Da Morte
