Corpse Flower
From the
breathtaking stretch of street,
And along
suspicious vertical columns,
I'm coming home
with all the red lights crumpled in my hands
Under a short
ceiling shade
I am approaching
destruction
Staring at the
wall, I prefer horizontal lines: I sleep
The corpse
flower
Behind the
window
Sleeping in a
deep breath
The last breath
As the flower exhales, a vain image is
born
On the wall
Countless
reproductions of faces: reflections of emptiness.
Memory: Inhale
Wall: exhale
Memory: exhale
Wall: Inhale
Bulky dust in
the room combines the horizon with the vertical
Where Is The Address Of The Sea?
Remove the dead
fish from my face
Where is the address of the sea?
My artificial
legs are suffocated in the mud
among the
confusing alleys of politics
And the shadow
of an empty serum searches my stiff veins
A perforated
roof cannot inject the sky into my heart
One injection is
enough
I am addicted to
the sea
Where is the
address of the sea?
Donate
countrymen!!
Your body parts
fit in a postcard!
Donate!
Your body parts
will be more alive near inanimate the nature
Donate your feet
to the borders!
They may be able
to cross barbed wire
Maybe you can
touch Dante's imaginary paradise
Insert your
hearts into the dolls' chests!
In childish
legends, your dream pulse will be faster
Donate your eyes
to the sky!
Maybe you can
experience the vastness of the earth for once
Your body parts
fit in a postcard!
Donate!
There is no safe
place here for the interconnected limbs of a human being
