BUZOGÁNY

MAGICIAN

The magician will come to me

For seeing who I am

He will look at my books

Will look over my poems

Listen to my music and we will have

A conversation up to the moment

We become friends

However, I doubt of his being a magician

And he produces as if by magic a girl

With black hair, gray eyes, with a weird laugh

And when I’ll see her also my heart

Jumps into my mouth

She is so beautiful

Later I’ll become a magician

And will produce silence in me

COMPLAINT... TO WHOM?

The morning is violin-sound

Hiding in a birch wood

With his unreturned love

Nearer and nearer to the death

Nevertheless, I saw in my dreams an endless way

It would be sufficient for leading me to you

Now I’m caressing your hair

It is a song of the down for someone

Xxx

When you look back, you begin to dig a grave

In yourself, these fresh mornings, cool afternoons

And the kisses you didn’t give to other because of me

These kisses cover me entirely like the spines cover the hedgehogs

I’m invisible under them over my head

Fly the gazes sent to other ones

Stirred by the wind when you turn your head

I suspect it’s not me who becomes

The cavalier of your dreams

In his memory without mourning

And should not be a similar flowery branch

For which I might wish the resurrection
