Poem with background of Paul Van Ostaijen 2

Pamplona's girl now lives in Honolulu

with a pearl necklace plastic

an oven - it will continue growing

-

it was his spleen gay

your chouchou

with her around you saying

flonflons, pink,

ruban bleu

the dishes shook

words gorgeous gorgeous!

vacancies vacancies

but she was resolved and progressed

(IN: cast & rags, Publisher House, 2008, p.20)

----------------- -----------------

The End of Empire

I began by writing about dry lips in Tennessee.

II

I wondered if the secret song of Hungarian girl was not

the roman-fleuve

a Lotte Lenya ancestor.

IV

A woman who stood against the edge of the box dreaming of the late Empire.

V

She had no depth whatsoever.

VI

only air glow and nothing more.

VII

anyone dreamed of saving it in a glass tube.

IX

would come the new century, the end of empire, the end of Hungary, the end of the roman-fleuve , come?

X

She looks at us from afar with a look of panic contained.

XI

How many meters of the language to hang himself in the soliloquy?

XI

How two people can get away without losing sight?

XII

And Tennessee?
