FIVE POEMS

 

Translated by Kevin Nolan

here I'll just mark where I piss

 

 

…a ballroom
for me alone

some sort of sweet sticks to my shoe
( smile….)

you're blithe like some backward nation he teases
windows wheresoever
you can feel it with your favourite boots on
the dust stinging –no- flying through the air
he encloses thinking I'm just some quick kiss kiss bang bang
there to scoop my lover's ashes?

 

he encloses them: these texts
