THE PARROT WOMAN


Her image would blow your mind
Permanently bend
Letting her man to rest at her back
She twists her neck
To send him the kiss of smile

Perched on the branch
She tries to howl
Then risen arms transform her into an owl
Her image would blow you out

And all those colors she wears in her feather- hair
She flies above the bridge
To concur with the wind
Dancing at her home
Over the head
Waving
She's no regret

Strong as a stone
She leaves her cave covered with moss
To roam
Roam
Beyond the time
Her image would blow your irises
Into pieces
As she bows to the Grace

There's a reflection of pastel face in the veins of mine
Like a blood
That runs my vessels through and through
The blue Parrot Woman
Dressed up in fur
And gold
She shed her tears into Angels' ears
As I was told...

On the cold winter frosty mornings
She dared to share her coffee
With God
And baby birds she put to sleep
Into the sleeve of violet night
Embraced they felt as if the parrot' wings
Were lain
Cuddling their brains tight
Her image would blow the apples of your eyes

Today she's back and swings
With the wind
As her feathers and her hair

Amongst the shelves
And clocks she walks
As time is ticking over the place
Overgrown with dust
Like us
She ties herself up with a thread
To a chair
Throne alike
And puts enamel over her nails
Her image blows the dust away

She wears the laces
Cashmere and
Silk...

Me - made of feathers
Me - torn as skies into pieces of golden stars
Me - bathed in her milk...





Dedicated to my Mother

Ps. There are people and things
That you can reach for
But you not always catch them...

THE LAST SUPPER


He looked her in the pale brown eyes
That used to be darker than coal
There
On the inner edge of existence
She kept the promise of gold resistance
While after while
He couldn't smile
Feeling her gaze
Piercing his soul

Wrapped in persistence deserving prize
She nailed him to the ceiling above
Her bed
And off she went to sleep
Deeper than deep
She sunk in night
He might be there
She cried
She thought
She was like us
She wasn't odd

He stared at her
Whilst she did dream
Of him
Filling her glass with Chilean wine
With him I'll dine
She cried
She thought
She was like us
She wasn't odd

He perched as if he was a crow
Over her shoulder
He dug his claws
Into her soft pale freckled arm
She burst with tears
She burst with blood
She was like us
She wasn't odd...

Ps. Dedicated to Little Deer Running

DO GORY NOGAMI

O Miłość błagamy
Z nogami nad głową
Bliźniego
I tak go kochamy
Fruwamy
Fruwamy...

Mieszamy stopami tlen
Ponad nozdrzami
łapczywie wdychamy
Atmosfer omamy
Wciąż więcej i więcej
A żadna z nich nie chce
Zostać nam powietrzem
Zdychamy

Zdychamy...

O miłość błagamy
Tanimi wierszami
A ona natchniona cudzymi myślami
Przychodzi nie do nas
Czekamy

Czekamy...

O miłość
Jak z głową pomiędzy chmurami
Udami
Lecimy
Spadamy
Spadamy...

CHILDREN OF THE DUSK

There is a silent hope gathered within vessels of this World
We scream at one another
And penetrate its bones
Like a marrow
We got rotten
And World dies of cancer
As we do of a lack of the answer

Do we really believe one another?
We wait
Like gods of pagan dawns
Squashed into somebodys prayers
By odd accident
Or totally on purpose
In order to provoke a miracle
Or an anger
Or ignorance of the virtue
You never know what you may get...

Almighty thoughts
Almighty us
In us we trust
In us lay
Lusts
Lies
Goddbyes
Regrets
All we detest

The Rest lies in the silence
That turns into us
The Rest is in us
As we turn to silence
With faces painted into violence...

Someone touches hands with us
And says that all is fine
And will be
And so will we
Polluted and worn out
But Immortal as Art...


***

So again
Mister Dusk keeps falling
On us
As it did on our ancestors
Formerly
And what shall we do?

Who shall we ask?
Who shan't we trust?

We fall into dusk
And talk to each other
Embraced by the gloom
Lying one in another
In emptied room of our desires
Hoping to bloom by dawn

The connection of our hands
Becomes a reflection in a broken mirror
And we cut one another to death
Of the conscience
Or other
Virtue
Which we've forgotten to visit
As it offers no drink when we come
So why shall one bother...

Refusing to go
Since dust covered us like snow
We-Mountain's hills
Still we squeal
We lie next to another
Linked somehow
With our wounds raw and silent
And fallen into dawn...

Ps. Inspired by Little Deer (still) Running...
