Norbert C. Kaser... (1947-1978)

... ein großer lyriker des alltäglichen. Er hat seine kleine, südtiroler welt in beeindruckender weise poetisiert und welt-offen gemacht. Fast tragisch sein wildes, kurzes Leben, damals angefeindet, heute bewundert.

                                                                weiden am rienzdamm                                                                              

                                                                  es wird nacht werden
                                                                  er hat sein fahrrad in
                                                                  der linken
                                                                  in der rechten sie
                                                                  strebt zu ihm hoch
                                                                                     ganz einfach
                                                                  küssen sie sich
                                                                                               ich
                                                                  seh das

                                                                 bald

                                                                 die bergseen kriegen
                                                                                    graugruene augen
                                                                                                        bald
                                                                                                         geht das heu zur neige
                                                                 die hennen legen
                                                                                auf ostern zu
                                                                                                bald
                                                                                                 bleibt der ofen ohne holz
                                                                 die tage steigen
                                                                                in langes licht
                                                                                               bald
                                                                                                   ist mir nimmer kalt
                                                                                                                          & ich bei dir
                                                                 leer vom winter her
