Krysa

Крыса

Zachveje sa plameň petrolejky,
v prítmí izby strašidelne blčí,
plachý drobec, menší od kopejky,
v perinkách sa ustráchane skrčí.

Čo to bolo? Zakašľal snáď bôžik?
Chráni dom tá bytosť stará, lysá…
Ale kdeže! To sa v sivej koži
spod almary vyplazila krysa.

V červenkastom svetle petrolejky
myká fúzmi, pritom hľadí skryte
na dievčatko menšie od kopejky,
na jej oči, veľké, obrovité.

«Mama, mama!» Mama má však hostí,
znie smiech varovkyne Vasilisy,
horia od zlosti i od radosti
jak uhlíky malé očká krysy.

Vstať či čakať? Pocit je to strašný.
Kde sú, kde sú krídla plné jasu?
«Znes sa rýchlo dolu, anjel strážny,
pred krysou mi prines večnú spásu!»

I and You

Yes, I come from another country, / To your world I can never belong. / Tinkling guitars cannot please me, / I want a wild desolate song. / / I do not read my verses in drawing-rooms / To black-coats and dresses like shrouds. / I read my verses to dragons, / To the waterfalls and to...

Jaguar

Today I saw the strangest dream, / I dreamed I sparkled in the sky: / But life, the grim Madame, / Had cast bad fate my way. / / I’d been changed into a jaguar, / I burned with mad desires, / My heart flamed dreadful fire, / My muscles shook and shuddered. / / And in a de...

Giraffe

Today I see your gaze is especially sad, / And your hands embracing your knees, especially thin. / Listen: far, far away on Lake Chad* / A slender giraffe is grazing. / / Bestowed with the luxury of harmonious grace, / Its skin is decorated in patterns, so magical / That only the shad...

Lake Chad

On mysterious Lake Chad / Among the ancient baobabs / Guided by majestic Arabs / The carved-out feluccas scud / Among the trees along the banks / And from foothills spread with green, / To terrible gods, the maidens chant, / Priestesses with ebony skin. / / I was the wife of a mig...

The Tale of the Kings

"We are the splendid and strong, / Youthful kings, who glide, / Like clouds high in the sky, / Above the mirage of the lands. / / With eternal songs and dances / We erect a new temple. / Let us be drunk with the purple / That surely will stream from its windows. / / A window to...

Masquerade

In barren halls and secluded corridors / Today merry maskers were amassing, / Today in parlors, variegated colors / Like mad whirlwinds, swept through, dancing. / / They snaked about beneath dragons and moons, / Chinese vases were tossed among them, / Torches flamed and lutes strings ...
