ANSWER ME, GOD, IF YOU CAN   A Song Of Trial   What a void is born in me. . . Could it be the sign and proof of my arrival ?   You have put me through the mill, God, And a heavy cross You have given me to bear. My rib You have […]

Native Lands   the yonder clouds exasperate me the yonder rumours cast me down : there used to be a mountain cradle – whereas nowadays there’s an insidious chair of torture : any blast of wind blowing thereof brings about the reaping of the visionary diseases – any blue forest emplaces the sullen and dumb […]

Dilatorily   The dark-green-slate-blue would serenely melodise, though, without a license, can’t ever beget iridescent Paradise. The ivy strains itself… Theoretically, it won’t hurt ! Like most strangling spirals – a heavy-climbing spurt –, it looks with a jaundiced eye, sticks another coiling leaf-placard… “Upon my word ! This airheaded tree has got some pure […]

Cosy Fog   Where are the leaves and buds nourished by the blood running through our love’s floods ?! Where is the blood nourished by the green studs running through our youthful moulds ?!   And where are the rivers’ riddles purified by our souls’ needles ?! And where might our souls sipple pellucid from […]

Rhetoric and the Shadow of Snowfall   Rhetoric is the science of counting the iguanas in the field of the snow when there comes a maiden who has not learned the genuine difference between the bite of a butterfly fresh after the famous summer courses and the light she willingly bites from while sweetly fainting […]

Evocation   She was as beauteous as the shadow of an idea, – her back skin to a baby’s smell was so anear, the smell of newly cracked stone the smell of screams in some language long forlorn.   Just like the breath, no weight did she possess. While laughing and weeping with large tears […]
