IULIA
GHERGHEI
Under My Armpit
How do you even start a poem?
What is that thing that stirs it out from you
Or maybe is an accumulation of facts
A homeless man pissing on a pole in broad daylight
The trash not lifted for days left to the winds to
play with it
The smell of a fake winter in a losers's town
And all these are rolled up in a cigar that muses
share voluptuously
Their smoke
coats me entirely so
Under their foggy glares
I walk these streets carrying a poem under my
armpit
And a devilish curb on my lips
Another Kind Of Spring
Death in your vision was so appetising
So voluptuous
Oh, yeah, yeah.... With her charms inciting us to
sin, to commit savage debauchery
Oh, yes, yes, poet,
You deceive yourself and us too with nymphs
wearing their scythe as a laurels crown
Their thighs billowing sweet angles and
the sugar glazed nipples anxiously waiting for
your slave kisses
Poet, what are you describing here it is not death
Only another kind of spring
Oh, yeah, yeah... The poet smiled guilty
Through The Glass
The seasons lost their identity
Through the glass you can't say if its summer or
winter
The sidewalks look the same
Only the barren trees wearing a silent prayer on
their branches
Might give you a hint
But from my armchair I can't see the trees
Only this sharp blue sky
Merciless as a torrid summer sky
Day after day, nameless days sewing themselves in
nameless seasons
frozen under a cruel sky
And me, sunk deep in my armchair
Embalmed in it
Ready to turn to dust at the first encounter with
the sun, this jellybean sun
In the background some neighbor is hammering a
hole
A hole into the next unparalleled universe
The only result is a crack on my window
Through which the winter, this jellyfish kind of a
winter
bites me back to reality
