Dead Men’s Bones and Me

Published March 6, 2017 by Nan Mykel

Actually, I spend much of my time in a healthy manner, contemplating dead men’s withered bones:

“Wenn schnode Wollust dich erfullt,

So werde durch ein Schreckensbild

Verdorrter Totenknochen

Der Kitzel unterbrochen.”

[“When base lust fills thy thoughts,

Let a horrible picture rise before thy mind

Of withered dead men’s bones,

So let the sensual stimulation be driven away.”]

(Sorry, author unknown). SCRATCH THAT!  It’s by Anja Christine Belemann-Smit, thanks to cousin Barbara!

    • I suspect it’s from a female. My cousin referred me to German entries on Amazon and tho I don’t know what they said, I got a page translated and think it’s by Anja Christine, as now added to my post. Thanks for the good suggestion, however!
