Bruno Jasieński Poems

- Nickelodeon -
A freckled maid in a white polka-dot shirt.
Someone slender, with a vengeance.
- Will you come?… - "I can't…"
...

I will no longer praise another lady
nor caress her name in any form of verse
not since I saw you there the first time
in that strange and unseen city's universe
...

The propeller's hymn to Heredia's words,
To words once lost in inky fog…
I played one of my comedies for her
Us two suspended in airy smog.
...
