WHATEVER NAKEDNESS ALLOWS

Haikus by Bill Wolak (USA)

Days after you left
awakening with a strand
of your hair on my lips

Chest-deep in river water
sunburned shoulders redder than
the sting of the fire ants

Perfumed with sea spray
hair cascading off the bed
blond as hourglass sand
Haikus by Gabriel Rosenstock (Ireland)

full moon
filling the eye
fully

to fully explore
a rustic rose
the frantic bee disappears

writing its story
on the strand --
a severed branch
A poem by Hemant Divarte (India)

EVEN NOW I DON’T UNDERSTAND

Even now I don’t understand
what exactly should be done first
while making love

From where should the touching begin
so that she gives in immediately?
It’s the same as writing a poem

From what line should the poem begin
so that it comes out good?

THE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

Look peacefully at the stars so high
And listen to the sweet song of the nightingales
And may beautiful women entertain you
And that your glass never be empty
Watch the passing by of the Moon.

Conosci il tuo paese

REMINISCENCES

Out of countless tower-mouths
the bell’s chorus pours as magic
its bronze over the golden mountains
twisting, it ascends the mountain sides
fans out, like firework
becomes velvet-sound and errs
like early autumn snow
above the mirror of the lake
melts together
with a handful of yellowed pictures:
the village
the grey shale tower
the bronze of olden days.
