Twelve Narratives of the Gypsy

(Excerpt)

Incomparable game flying

you are but don’t you boast

come close, extend your hand,

help, become a labourer.

Match, listen, care and ask

lean down if you want to rise!

Your invincible victory comes

when you say, “firstly you submit!”

Prove that you’re the master

you dominate over your anger

your wish, your soul: become

a labourer, erase all of your

personal; place your engagement

ring among the people;

become one with the innumerable

piles of the great comradely

work. Listen to what the tree

tells you, before they cut it

to craft a boat; my eternal soul

lights inside my new body.

The wheat ears undulate serenely

as if they yearn for the last

unborn treasure: bread.

Air, earth, water, fire, of all

the human mind has tamed

nothing has escaped you and

you still hold in your darkness

the untouched and not humbled

and all the vampires of the abyss

and all the morning stars.
