A Tale Of One Night

I had knelt a long time at my parents' grave. A sudden gush of grief had seized me, taken my thoughts away, and when I found back to reality my knees where stiff and the sun had already met the horizon. I stood up and walked towards the exit of the cemetery, but I didn't feel like going home already, and as the air was still warm, I sat down on a wooden bench under an old weeping willow.   
My thoughts trailed off again. Suddenly I noticed a young woman who came out of the path opposite my place. She came to the bench and silently sat down next to me. I looked at her. She was very thin and pale, with blond hair that seemed almost wh

Wooed with wordsI could be wooed with words; I know I could.  I can’t think of a thing I could not forgive  If you wrote me a sonnet the way Will would...  If through words you would make me live.  If you were a master of metre and rhyme  I would be at your feet in a beat.  Make me dance to your song, make me keep your time,  Let your words be the drug that I need.  If you sang an elegy like Poe on my grave,  I believe I would die for you.  And whatever abuse and bad words you gave,  If you rhymed them, I’d love them, too.  Spread a blanket of blank verse over my eyes  It would cover Wooed with words

So There She LaySo there she lay, her porcelain skin pale against the dark linen. Her eyes were closed, as if to seal off her thoughts from his gaze, blond lashes like curtains over the windows of her soul. He leaned at the door, sweetening his steaming coffee with her image. There had only been enough for one cup, but he knew she wouldn’t mind, he knew she wouldn’t have wanted coffee anyway, even if he had asked, even if she’d been awake.   
He had to smile. Wasn’t it strange how intimately he seemed to know her, already, after the first night they had ever spent together? But it had always been like that. There were people wit So There She Lay

A Letter of GoodbyeI am watching you... You cannot see me, but I can see you through this colourful nothing of a silk curtain. I am watching you while I am crouching on the floor, writing this letter – my last one. I have always watched you when you were down there, talking to your friends and business associates. Women see more than men can know, and I have learned more about you by watching silently than by talking to you. Men do not know how to talk to women. You either treat us as children or as another species – and we are neither. We are like you, only different.   
And now I am watching you, as you gently stir the poison into my cup. A Letter of Goodbye

HomesickLass sie nicht sehen, wie du blinzelst  So sagte meine Mutter, sieh, warum  Es mir unangenehm ist auszugehen wenn meine Augen trocken sind  Ich habe kein Geschick mit Pinseln. Die Farben  Trocknen aus und verschütten sich, glänzend wie Gischt auf den Felsen;  Der Lehrer streicht mir den Schimmer weg  Von den nackten Armen. Die Kinder flüstern   
Hinter den Armen des Seesterns. Sie gehen zum Spielen  In den sonnigen und warmen Garten, aber ich bleibe hier, wie Mama  
Es mir gesagt hat. Unter dem Fenster ist ein Aquarium  Voller goldener Fische, die umherjagen, ständig, Homesick

Fractions of Infinity"******, is it?" she said. "That's an unusual name."   
It was strange to hear this woman say my name. Not the words themselves -I had become used to hearing people say it was a odd name- but the way she said it. I couldn't put my finger on it, but hearing her voice was like picturing a snake in the tall grass: coiled and ready to strike. Each word was the gleam of a cold eye, each inflection the quick dart of a tounge. Prodding. Probing.   
Tasting.   
I snuck a glance at the swell of her breasts, nestled in the white fabric. She caught me staring and I quickly looked away. She smiled, then, revealing perfectly Fractions of Infinity

*TranslationChain's Chain No. 4, International Tag, has been on its way for four days now! I'm really excited about what's going on there.

I've just added two translations. So there are only 81 missing now XD Join the fun, everybody!

I already participated in Chain 1, which was fun, and I've been asked to join Chain 2, with a poem by Ted Kooser. I feel really honoured. I hope I can live up to the expectations... But then, you grow with your challenges, don't you? And I'm definitely going to do my best. I'm so excited... my turn is going to be sometime around this weekend.

I hope I'll have caught up on some sleep until then. Damn insomnia :(
