Karol Chmel Poems

and
in coffee: future: disintegrating
cube of sugar

infernus: my memory, mirror
...

a beer from alena
(thirty and four)
waiting for foam
to collapse
...

dandelion from eva
(turned seventeen)
waiting ‘til it ripens
for the wind
...

In my own room
I was walking over the bottom, peeping under mirror,
bringing shadows into light, wiping dust
...

This man still insists on hope,
drinks water from his palms, falls on grass,
he learns abc, counts on his fingers
again, smiles
...

the tongue, raw meat.

Fights of gnostic with flowers,
quadrilateral circles,
...

I lie too
(as though I was a poet)

from dzyan
madam blavatsky
up to cantos
...

irrational weapons:
sextant, compass and the sixth sense

moorings under trees
...

water rises to the surface smiles
i have my dreams you your dreams
neither does Leibniz know how to cope
with the best of all possible worlds
...

The Best Poem Of Karol Chmel

Andante

and
in coffee: future: disintegrating
cube of sugar

infernus: my memory, mirror
of my visions

you smile, mitschuldig, but it's only a help
to those who need
footnotes; brace for the worst,
it will be about corpus hermeticum, finger
complains about sliver, the blind about darkness,
press ignores grapes,
but metaphorism work...

Translation: Pavol Lukáč
