How
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
soon the light fades
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
from our
lives my brother...
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Through
our allergic eyelashes
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
life tiptoes slowly
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
not to be caught
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
she leaves
and disappears...
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
look, she's a dot
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
turning
that corner...
gone now...
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaarknes!!!
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I look at photo
negatives and
they are humans
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
with fire-red eyes
of trapped wolves
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
borrowed claws
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
how did they
leave them
this way false teeth
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
leaches stuck
on our throats
pulling our buttons
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
to pull through
a little longer
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
They're those
at the train
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I remember them well
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
when we scheduled
our first dream to
go on a holiday
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
they threw us
at the outstretched
lines of the railway
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
like empty sacks
in an
unprotected crossing
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
for excess weight
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Those of us who
"lived" written
in quotation marks
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
a thousand
barrels point at us
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
from the
roof of the telecommunications
centre
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
cold cold and
melo(dramatic)
with our t-shirt
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
we pretend
we have
an overcoat
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and one
- did you see -
all of us have it
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
purple vein
under
our eye
beating still
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
How expensive
life is my brother
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
how things
have cheapened,
courage!
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Sometimes
- but i don't give up-
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
the
anti-depressives
overturn
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and the
scale turns
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I have no
more forward
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I bend and
take with
my teeth
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
my blooded mind
and go back back
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I turn back
to save myself
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and then
i can't find
the way
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
cause it's shit
over there
- as if i didn't know-
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
broken metals
and fragments
of bomb shells
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
i get scared
and lost with
everything i have
nowhere to go
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
only the door of
the SUPERMARKET
is open
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and I sneak in
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I watch like
a predator
where money go
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and the
value of use
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Delirium Tremens
is how
they call it
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I WANT TO STEAL
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I turn on
all the stereos
to play together
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
each brand
in a different tune
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
the speakers in
maximum to
blow their ears
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and then
with a good
Singer scissors
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
I cut their mouths
all around to
make them bigger
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and put
my soul there
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
a kiss of death
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and I empty
inside them,
the psychiatric pills
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and their drug stores
together with
their keepers
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Death to Byzantium
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
to hell
the dynasties
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
my friend's
diaphragm
the peaceful
operations
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
go and die
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Death to
the Immortals
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
black flags
and red
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
the light opens
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
- WILL OPEN -
the road
the mouth
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
the eyes
the heart
and mind
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
It takes
just a little
from us to
push the door down

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
And the camera
with the
ancient films
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Not
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
Not always
the people
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
black negatives
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
and us
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com
BURNED SUNS

ευτυχώς η εικόνα (και η επιμέλεια της σύνθησης) κλέβει από την αφελή μετάφραση-ενός πολύ δυνατού λόγου

μια δυνατή εβδομάδα

σου χρωσταω ακόμα, ας πούμε πως κόλλισαν στο χιόνι

ΚΑΙ ΕΓΩ ΘΕΛΩ ΝΑ ΚΛΕΨΩ!

Μα τι μετριοφρων παιδι;-)
Καλη βδομαδα!

Eva Eksarhou said...

Κι ας μην γράφω συχνά, σε παρακολουθώ πάντα. Να 'σαι καλά!

να, ξετρύπωσε λίγο η μοναξιά το φως και το λευκό (τι όμορφο πάθατε όλοι σήμερα;) χαρίζει φεύγοντας κάτι ποιήματα, κάτι μεταφράσεις και λίγο απ' το χαμό των φωτογραφιών που χάνονται κι αυτές.

Έξοχη η ηχητική επιλογή σου, προσωπικά με παρέπεμψε στο intro από το ψυχεδελικό "Cyclone" των Tangerine Dream! Αν για κάτι ξεχωρίζει το post αυτό για τη Γώγου, συγκριτικά με τα προηγούμενα σου, είναι, πέραν της ιδιαίτερης εικαστικής ματιάς σου, η δυνατότητα που μας παρέχεις να δούμε την απόδοση του λόγου της και στα αγγλικά. Πόσο συγκλονιστικές είναι οι φράσεις "Death to Byzantium", "Death to the Immortals", σαφώς ξέραμε ό, τι θα' ναι έτσι, άλλη όμως αίσθηση είναι να το' χεις μπροστά στα μάτια σου και με αυτήν την τεχνοτροπία. Ήμουν υπερ- αναλυτικός, βεβαίως βεβαίως!

Ετσι ειναι Δημητρη,ναι.

Στον αποηχο των εικονων, κανοντας τρια κλικ αριστερα, θα δουμε ν'αναδυεται μια νεα ισορροπια bosco μου.Γιατι οτι παρεμβαλλεται αναμεσα στην αισθηση του πραγματικου και στην εντυπωση που αφηνει η εικονα,ειναι ο σεβασμος.
Για αυτο που φαινεται σαν κουρελακι, αλλα στην ουσια ειναι η λησμονημενη συναισθηση.

το μπλογκ σου πάντα είναι μια άσκηση ετοιμότητας για το μυαλό μου...

greekgaylolita said...

Χεχε,και για μενα Στρατο μου οταν μου ερχονται οι ιδεες,ως μια ασκηση ετοιμοτητας το εκλαμβανω;-)

Lolita μου επίτρεψέ μου πρώτα να τονίσω πόσο πολύ μου άρεσε η μετάφραση. Δύσκολη δυκολότατη δουλειά και φοβερή απόδοση. ΜΠΡΑΒΟ!
Η δική σου δουλειά με τις σκιάσεις και τα φώτα μ'αρέσει πολύ. Σαν μάγος που ζωντανεύει τις ψυχές που ζουν μέσα στα αρνητικά των φωτογραφιών.

Πανόσιε, σε προσκάλεσα σε μπλογκοπαίχνιδο. Πέρνα μια βόλτα απ' το blog μου. Είμαι περίεργος να δω ποιο βιβλίο θα πέσει στα χέρια σου και σε ποιο κείμενο θα σε βγάλει...
