FUJI Poem by Gabrielė Labanauskaitė

FUJI



They will take your picture again
In this kitchy sunset
Among monolithic cliffs and mists of smog
For a pretty Japanese postcard.

They will take your picture again
And will scan the iris of the eye,
There a lonely old man with burned legs
Looks through the window of his hospital room.

They will take your picture again
Colorful Fuji blocks
Immortalized in USB
Perhaps - first like a gay man,
Sad ly sipp ing mojitos.

They will take your picture again
A New Age story
So much blood on the keyboard
Maybe it's just ironic

That after traveling all night through myspace
You only found a single star
Crumb ling with hardcore
Experimental screams
Of...
a soothing melody

Translation from Lithuanian by Ada Valaitis
