GEERT VERBEKE

Olga Lalić-Krowicka

Olga Lalić-Krowicka -Dukla (Poland)

Translated: Sarah Luczaj


STOP

Stop calling the ambulance
of silence
I’m disturbance,
a glass of wine that shudders.
Stop dressing me in pink,
I’m a wedding dress
a rich burgundy hat
the velvet you sleep on,
the thought that makes you beautiful,
the stuttering veins in your sleep
and a lantern surrounded by dark walls.

Stop calling me weak,
I’m Mount Everest
victorious Berlin,
South in the blood of wars
a shield in hopeless battles.
Don’t say of me: a cloud scattered with sand.
I’m a cloud which houses
the angels of death, of sadness,
hope in the uproar,
the disappearing crowd

Dancing Outside

by Sondra Ball

dancing outside
rock weighs my sketches
the spring wind

After the Fog

by Sondra Ball

After the fog,
after the rain,
sunshine always
comes back again.

It comes each time.
My soul knows well
sunshine returns.
But waiting's hell.

A Night Song

by Sondra Ball

The night is here.
Beneath the creeping stars
a weeping form huddles on the grass.
Strangers pass,
heedless of her sorrow.

She sings across the night,
"Where is the greater light?"
Where is the dawn?"

Jadran Zalokar

Autumn morning –
Chestnut forests breath in the mist
Of fallen leaves

In the summer storm
The mowed grass
Tremble with its scent

Old man and woman
Each with their own
Stick embraced

Translated by Sasa Vazic

Tomislav Maretić

Oh white-flowered shepherd's purse,

if Basho hadn't noticed

you by the hedge, I wouldn't

have known about you!

Drunk

by Zoran Matic Mazos

I wave these days

Drunk without hope
I don’t expect anybody

Anybody doesn’t expect me

In the escape

I lost my wings

Pressed down

By the force of earth’s gravitation

At the table tied With the glass I am looking for

Lost stars

The new ones aren’t lighting there

I am falling downIn my empty days

I learn to get up!

WHY DON'T YOU COME?

by M. Eminescu

See the swallows quit the eaves
And fall the yellow walnut leaves,
The vines white autumn frost are numb,
Why don't you come, why don't you come?

Oh, come intp my arms' embrace
That I may gaze upon you face,
And by my head in grateful rest
Against your breast, against your breast!

Do you remeber when we strayed
The meadows and the secret glade,
I kissed you midst flowering thyme,
How many a time, how many a time?

Some wemen on the earth the are
Whose eyes shine at the evening star,
But be their charm no, matter what,
Like you they're not, like you they're not!...

Vasile Moldovan, Bucharest, Romania

Borce Panov

by Borce Panov

Red and white granes

While
I was juggling
with my red grains
In condition
full of panic
You came juggling
with jour
white grains
And while this
passionate game
was going on
We mixsed up
the granes
All of a suden
You said to me
to take care
You must not
los any grains
Because you
need them all
The white ones
for living
The red ones
for loving me

Poetry

This mirror
is
the smoothest
shaved chek
on which
the beard
isn't growing
any more
Be carful
it can make you
sad
when
you stand
in front
of it

The Angel’s Quill

All night I am chasing one square of light
In which I am traveling like persistently fleeing dream
Into compartment in front of checker’s nightfall
While morning is arranging my crystals of sparking
With scaling down Sun in fine glittering words
And returning me at the beginning of traveling
With all of that which leads into uneasiness
Like I was never born
Like I died in some time before than it was my time
To return into this moment
And I am stranger again to what I dreamt of
Without my lived-in past
In the kaleidoscope of this present moment
Which is shifting darkness between crystals
Opening in front of me and closing behind you
While postponing my awakening
And again I am following the square of light
And God is gloomy at the end of Heaven
Like amoeba- star which gathers mind
Thousands of years from the beginning of dreaming
And I know
In handkerchief of wind he is returning ashes back to me again
That I have to sorrow like a cry at birth
And that I have to remember an angel
Which left me like an orphan in the threshold of life
In beehive full of flickering words
And with one little feather pulled out from the wing at farewell
With only one word I am writing my soul once again

Migrant Soul

The same as that
Czar's captive
Sentenced
To thirst and to hunger
Rare
Suckles only
Breast milk
Of young woman
who no longer
breastfeed her infant
And Secretly
Fed by jailers
With one word only
To hang
In life
With a word
To pull
One moment
With a moment a day
And night
From tomorrow and over tomorrow
A whole time
All the time
A moment
Just one
That moment
Only to you
To go west
To pop
Until you return
And begin to talk
The thousand and one words
With your
And with my body
My migrant soul

Thorny Glagolitic Chant

Love death truly
Because she
has her desires too
Like an arrow
Traveling at day
And hitting
At night
Suddenly
You wrote this to me
And like a thunderbolt enlightened
My mind that night
When you said
That some time ago
I spit into snake's
mouth too
Because of the dark brushwood
In me chanted in glagolitic with a thorns
I accepted to my self
Then one more time
That
On the tightened nerve
I was pacing very often
Between life
And death
And my days without love
I wanted
To be shorter
For forgiveness I asked you
And for
Not to ask of me
To love her
Whose
Only wish is
To ask of us
To leave too early
From this life
Without love.

Letter Of Fortune

A long ago
I'm patiently lurking
the shadows
At the end, I'm closing them
in white envelopes
always again
asking myself
is this
writing poetry too
One day I
received a letter
which said that
I was fortunate to be chosen
and that I will,
If I don't disrupt circle,
experience great happiness
Then
I remembered again
that each day
I'm opening letters
and persistently reading
their whiteness
That's why I please,
Do not interrupt circle
when you'll get
this letter
with no address

What did Charlie C. saw from the upside down?

There comes Charlie winded like a toy
-Idiot, he is whispering to me
and turns sharply down,
hanged onto his long foot to the wire,
he leaks my blood thru wire from the nerve fiber
fast
with his thumbs he lift up,one by one, the tails of his little
tailcoat
becomes a dot between the dots ...
What did Charlie C. saw from the upside down ?
We ate fish - he was carefully sucked the bones
of the shoe
I sucked the tacks of the sheat-fish
what remained we throw into the garbage cans
that hop from the orgasm-m-m-m-m-m of the cats
-Faster, Charlie,faster
a volcano is turns into typhoon
(you do not see it)
You dancing
yours foot is stuck with the chewing gum on the floor,
now it is clear that he is a giant from a half upward
and he shoot aaah, he shoot us from a distance!
Faster Charlie, move away, tear off!
What?!
You're in love. Terrible! You're in love Charlie
the head of your soul is outside of the skull
A black rock, a sad one
now floating inside my head Charlie
Typewriter types my heart
a sheet is hopelessly white, although power failure ...
Although power failure I know that deep through the whiteness
I feel
My blood is close to the other side and it's time to wake up,
although I do not know where ...
You ... you might have laughed from the upside down Charlie?

YOURS


Weed in field, yours
Easy ballad, yours
Under the petal, yours
In silence of words, yours
By skin and blood, yours
Woman and star, yours
Faith and cheat, yours
With stormy kisses, yours
Whose pain is this?
Your, yours
Inside you, yours
In everything, yours
And yes she is, yours
Knowingly, unknowingly, yours.

A HOUSE MADE OF GLASS

A house made of glass.
The last performance is given there,
Last role,
A role without a price.
Lovers, on your parting
Fly away, fly.
For long, for long restrain your silence.
In the dark of night, at least one star belongs to you.
