Pavol Janik Poems

Barefoot
you leap from star to star.
And each time there's a chime
...

How much is the Czechoslovak crown worth here
in the capital of the ugliest women in the world
where the only chance for survivor
...

The moment air stops
close in front of your face
and checks the size of your lungs,
...

You emerge from beyond the horizon,
heedlessly towards darkness
and inattentive towards smothering dreams.
...

Evenly and fast
always going round
it dreams about itself.
...

Even poets
submit patent proposals.
They are mainly concerned with the utilization of
...

In a horizontal mirror
of the straightened bay
the points of an angular city
...

Na vodorovnom zrkadle
vystretého zálivu
trčia hroty hranatého mesta
zabodnuté priamo do hviezdnatej oblohy.
...

На xоризоталнотo oгледалo
на растегнатиот залив
стрчат вртвовите на аглестиот грaд
...

Në një pasqyrë të rrafshët
Të gjirit të pispillosur
Shënjat e një qyteti kockëdalë
...
