Toto srdce je voda

2011-09-20T05:24:00.000-07:00

Toto srdce je voda,
spieva, hladká ťa, hojdá.

Toto srdce je brána,
otvára, zatvára sa.

Toto srdce je voda,
čerí sa, valí, krúti,
vraždí bez pomykova.

Miguel Hernández

As I see their happiness
it makes me feel so sorry for them

Oh turquoise sweater
what a great mother
will you be

While door opened
we shared a warm bed

I had a dream

I got two sons
With golden hair.
And my beautiful kitchen smelled like ginger.

I liked it.

My cursed clone
Why so alone
Are we together?

A Poison Tree

2011-01-30T13:09:00.000-08:00

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe;
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with my smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.

/Poem by William Blake/

Zaspávam s vtákmi v očiach. Sen o záhrade sa mi prisníval.

2011-01-16T14:18:00.000-08:00

'You make me naked I make you blind'

'Will you run with me? Will we make thousand beautiful babies?'

'I'm not feeding the ground today'

White sheets in a closet
Red sheets on a bed
A child in its mother
The mother in agony
The father in the hallway
The hallway in the house
The house in the town
The town in the night
Death in a cry
And the child in life

My smutné kazisvety
nocou sa potĺkame.
Kdeže sú denné kvety,
kde slasti lásky máme,
kde pre nás život svieti?

My smutné kazisvety
nocou sa potĺkame.
Nám nahá luna matne svieti,
bezhlavo pred ňou utekáme,
má úsmev, ktorý mrazí,
mrazivé srdcia máme.

My smutné kazisvety
nocou sa potĺkame.
Diabol nás k sebe láka,
diabol, čo večne klame.

Diabol nás poodnáša
od krásnych mileniek.
Je mŕtva mladosť naša
a naše lásky tiež...
