Movement 2 June (German: Bewegung 2. Juni) was a West German terrorist organization based in West Berlin. Active from 1971–1980, the anarchist group was one of the few violent groups at the time in West Germany. Although Movement 2 June did not share the same ideology as the Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhof Gang), these extremist organizations were allies. The Movement 2 June did not establish as much influence in West Germany as their Marxist counterparts, but is best known for kidnapping West Berlin Mayoral candidate Peter Lorenz.

alder was heavy, listless,
its leaves studded with galls,
growing wherever we didnt
