AUTOMN

The warmth disappears,
the excitement, the expectation reshapes
into thorn dry golden-yellow leaves
and into a preparation for the battle
with bony branches.
The sadness of the mud, rain, mould
streams through the window into my room.
But the fruits
of a golden-yellow pear-tree
do not reach its windows-panes.
It's too late, ripe pear-tree!
I'm standing under your crown.
The wind entangles my hair with your branches,
the leaves wash my face
and my hairs flow on the ground.
I fruitlessly watch the heavy branches
and beg you to offer your hands to me
with the help of the wind
but you haughtily drop the fruits to break on the ground.
For the ants and worms to feast upon.
I convulsivela pluck them, tainted,
from the ground, from the nettles.
I avidly absorb the last juices of summer.




THIS WIND

has swept away my thoughts
and strewn my dresses over the streets.
Naked
under the hair and the sorrow of the world.
This wind
has strewn my body
over the streets.
From dark rooms
convulsively spring up hands who've gone astray,
deceived by the love-instinct.
This wind has strewn my senses.
And I'm naked
under the hair
and the depths of the sky.
