Too Late for the South
It seems that we're late.
There was no need to hurry.
The branch was thin and it shook all down to the trunk.
The cars rushed
down under. The snow covered everything. All of a sudden,
a turtle-dove
moved as if about to fly, and then it fell down under the
wheels of a
limo.
The frozen male swayed on the branch
Kissing
Die of beauty
You devil’s Emperor,
From merciful sin
Kiss these May cherries
Green apples
Pollen lips.
You start kissing.
Kiss white merry buttocks
hips, navel, tip of the nose
palms that clasp
You start kissing.
Kiss closed eyes
Bitter tear
Child of dawn, women of night,
You start kissing.
Kiss the moon of soul
Kiss, emperor
Kiss at the fifth side of the world.
The Invention of Shadows
If love is just deception then it is really perfect.
I am not able to describe that to someone who
Has never tasted something like that.
LOVE is the animal appetite. Now I have a different view
on that.
His cigarette was burning, ashes falling on the floor, his
hands were
trembling when he poured the tea. His eyes glimmered like
the eyes of the
stuffed bird. I laid my hand on his shoulder. He twitched.
I can't make recollection of one single moment which
lasted through
eternity.
You loved me once?
You have good memory
You do not want that I stop loving you.
It is winter, the snow is constantly falling.
All the words were in vain, I looked as if I desperately
needed a hug.
I was scared.
The pain became trivial.
Your counterpart now owns your soul.
Who am I now?
Both of things you are now.
