Pozna pomlad
"It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” George Eliot
(moji lepi muzi, tropski ribi in boginji)
Čas tli,
ko se pogovarjava
o razvrstitvi pohištva
in kaj morava še postoriti,
da bova lahko zadihali.
***
'Rada te imam', rečem
enkrat zjutraj
na tešče in
drugič zvečer,
preden grem spat.
***
Vmes s sosedom
pijeva pivo,
Staropramen je v Hofru cenejši,
6 let je že minilo od smrti njegove žene,
v hiši ima Jezusa in zunaj gori sveča.
*****
V gozdu je zrastel teloh,
sadike paradižnikov kukajo iz lončkov.
Skalne lastavice delajo gnezdo
nad vhodom moje hiše.
*************
Kazalci narave so ključ,
ki odklepa korenine
in čeprav so jo že odpisali
vzcveti tudi kaka stara češnja
in znova dobi priložnost,
da se podruži s čebelami
in nahrani razigrano ptičjo družbo.

(15. februar, poganski praznik Luperku, zaščitniku ovac pred volkovi, je včasih veljal za novo leto)
(Tone Škerjanc vs. Tanja Matijašević)
Tone:
kaže, da danes ne bo nič
s sprehodom po mestu. tudi
večerni obisk je začel vse
bolj viseti v zraku. hladno postaja
in pečice še ne delajo. v zraku
je polno topolovih semen, ki
kot kakšne brezvoljne ptice
v depresiji, vse zvite
v klobčič, v mraku čemijo
naokrog za spuščenimi roletami
sveta. po dolgem času
sem včeraj spet videl
Johna Wayna, kako lepo ritmično
poskakuje na konju. ves
mlad je bil videti, zagledan sam
vase pod navidez zamaščenim
širokokrajnim klobukom.
ves samozadosten je jezdil
po preriji, plašil ptice
in Indijance. ampak
pustimo počivat te stare
filmske klasike. v zraku so
oblaki, ptice, topoli
in zelo občasno kakšen
avion.
frfotavo nevarni smo
in odsotnega duha.
---------
Tanja:
Obstala je pred kamionom.
V daljavi je John Wayne
elegantno vihtel svoj obrabljeni laso.
Klobuk s širokimi krajci,
si je potisnil na čelo
in precej neprivlačno,
pljunil čez ramo.
Pred leti je šla z nekim moškim,
skozi prerijo in
vse te pomladi,
z ožuljeno ritjo
jahala na konju.
Pred lastnim krajem,
je v jasnini neba,
in vonju topolov,
mogoče opazila tudi kak avion.
Ne vrag, le sosed bo mejak
(za Slobotovo rakijo, slanike Prekpalaj Deda in kuharico Rado, ki je poskrbela, da solata v šoli nikol ni bila 'sažvakana' )
****
Turška kava,
italijanska pica,
bosanski čevapi,
indijanski tobak,
naj sosed nam ne bo sovrag.
'V redu smo' si govorijo,
ko zaradi Erfana besnijo:
'Pokvaril bo Kranjsko šolo,
ki slovenske barve kaže,
ko 'naš orel' skoči rekord v Planici.'
Ničkaj bliže resnici,
ki se v ogledalu izrazi,
ker vrag s pogledom oplazi,
vsakega, ki se mimo sprehodi
in hlasta po kleni slovenski podobi.
Intimate detail
(moji čebeli, ki zamuja letala z mano)
BY HEID E. ERDRICH
Late summer, late afternoon, my work
interrupted by bees who claim my tea,
even my pen looks flower-good to them.
I warn a delivery man that my bees,
who all summer have been tame as cows,
now grow frantic, aggressive, difficult to shoo
from the house. I blame the second blooms
come out in hot colors, defiant vibrancy—
unexpected from cottage cosmos, nicotianna,
and bean vine. But those bees know, I’m told
by the interested delivery man, they have only
so many days to go. He sighs at sweetness untasted.
Still warm in the day, we inspect the bees.
This kind stranger knows them in intimate detail.
He can name the ones I think of as shopping ladies.
Their fur coats ruffed up, yellow packages tucked
beneath their wings, so weighted with their finds
they ascend in slow circles, sometimes drop, while
other bees whirl madly, dance the blossoms, ravish
broadly so the whole bed bends and bounces alive.
He asks if I have kids, I say not yet. He has five,
all boys. He calls the honeybees his girls although
he tells me they’re ungendered workers
who never produce offspring. Some hour drops,
the bees shut off. In the long, cool slant of sun,
spent flowers fold into cups. He asks me if I’ve ever
seen a Solitary Bee where it sleeps. I say I’ve not.
The nearest bud’s a long-throated peach hollyhock.
He cradles it in his palm, holds it up so I spy
the intimacy of the sleeping bee. Little life safe in a petal,
little girl, your few furious buzzings as you stir
stay with me all winter, remind me of my work undone. #bees #berlin #poemoftheday #poetry #lovely #stayawake #creative #tumblrpoetry #poetplatform #poeticme
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
-Maya Angelou,
(for she truly was a magnificent tree)
True form.

I sample sin as if it were

I don't like Paradise
as they probably don't have obsessions there.

There are nights that don't
ever happen.
Winter. Time to eat fat and watch hockey. In the pewter mornings, the cat, a black fur sausage with yellow Houdini eyes, jumps up on the bed and tries to get onto my head. It’s his way of telling whether or not I’m dead. If I’m not, he wants to be scratched; if I am He’ll think of something. He settles on my chest, breathing his breath of burped-up meat and musty sofas, purring like a washboard. Some other tomcat, not yet a capon, has been spraying our front door, declaring war. It’s all about sex and territory, which are what will finish us off in the long run. Some cat owners around here should snip a few testicles. If we wise hominids were sensible, we’d do that too, or eat our young, like sharks. But it’s love that does us in. Over and over again, He shoots, he scores! and famine crouches in the bedsheets, ambushing the pulsing eiderdown, and the windchill factor hits thirty below, and pollution pours out of our chimneys to keep us warm. February, month of despair, with a skewered heart in the centre. I think dire thoughts, and lust for French fries with a splash of vinegar. Cat, enough of your greedy whining and your small pink bumhole. Off my face! You’re the life principle, more or less, so get going on a little optimism around here. Get rid of death. Celebrate increase. Make it be spring.

Ne premorem več potrpljenja do staršev,
ki usmerjajo otroke
v svoje vizije, želje, potrebe
in bližje družbenim idealom.
🤔
Ko želijo prehoditi vse poti pred njimi
jih suvajo, odrivajo, čustveno kastrirajo.
💔
'Stran od strahu in žalosti!',
vpijejo,
da otroci več ne čutijo nog
in zemlje pod stopali,
in jim glave postajajo podobne plastični igrački,
ki so jo dobili v McDonalds happy meal paketu.
🍿
Vile so se že zdavnaj poskrile,
zabetonirane so pod nakupovalne centre,
v paket enanadan so strpane češnje,
ki so zrasle na domačem vrtu,
na drevesu,
najlepšem plezalu otroštva,
ki so ga požagali
da bi iz njega naredili jahalnega konjička
zaradi katerega je ravnotežje otrok ves čas na preizkušnji.

Težko ga je ohraniti,
zato imajo že tisoče bušk
in posušenih solz,
saj ne smejo jokati,
lahko pa ližejo sladoled,
Hello Kitty ali Smrkec,
samo da so tiho,
medtem ko starši odsotno bulijo v mobilnike.
📲
Igrišča so strpana med kafiče,
kjer glasen 'Ne!'
odmeva od sten blokov.
☕
NE.
Ne premorem več potrpljenja
do ljudi,
ki so pozabili okus snega na svojih jezikih
in se ne spomnijo več kaj pomeni biti otrok.

Working class love. ⚒️💓
Working class love
(for Mišon, the greatest artist I know)
When you are working class,
you don't get to have
original thoughts:
you are suppose to oil the machine,
that makes them.
You get through the same pattern
day by day,
knowing it has to be completed,
from beginning until the end
and you need to get creative,
to squeeze in some fun,
for stuff and people you really love.
Laser tag
Oprosti,
če te primerjam z bivšo,
ko ti govorim, da si boljša od nje,
ker nisi le to.
Gre za to,
da me božaš
po delih,
ki jih prej nisem niti opazila,
ali pa sem jih namerno potiskala
pod preprogo sramu
in se zdrznem,
ko jo vržeš skozi okno
in rečeš,
da je odveč
(in da sem lepa oseba) ,
"Tanja, a greva na laserje?".
Tnx for the light. #feminism

Flora in Favna
(volkcu)
Kot sinsemilla sem,
želim si tvoj pelod,
ker le tako nadaljuje se vrsta,
božanske zveri,
ki je v meni,
prekrita z rdečim lisičjim kožuhom.
Zagrizem te v stegna,
ne znam pač drugače,
kot oddajat svoj vonj,
in iskat žival,
ki si jo skrila,
med boke
ali pa v pikico,
ki se guga v nasmehu,
tvojih skodranih ustnic,
ko te božam po delih,
ki jih ti ne opaziš,
v svoji volčji podobi.
Antarktika
Si hotla bit Betmen,
da bi dobila pingvina.
Napisala si Dedku Mrazu
da želiš 'met pingvina.
Zakaj bi hotla Betmena,
če ga hoče pingvin?
Ti si dobla pingvina,
ti piše ful rim.
Jest sm tvoj Pingvin,
se okol tebe vrtim,
kot da si moj dom,
moja Antakrtika.

Včasih ti kaka kokoš pobegne,
praviš,
ko drgneš mojo kuhinjo,
po tem ko si posortirala
vso hrano v kozarčke.
Meni se zdiš čudovita,
čeprav ne smem reči,
da te obožujem,
ko me povabiš na večerjo
k svoji mami
in ganjeno obsedim,
tudi,
ko namestiš mojo dlan
med svoje roke,
da ne čutim več tesnobe,
ki je bivala v mojih prsih
vsako leto,
ko so ljudje krasili božična drevesca.
Morska deklica
Polizawa bom sled soli,
s tojh bokov,
k me spomne na čipke,
tiste starinske,
za ohcet.
Sprememba
Grizljala si presto.
Obdalajala te je Atonska svetloba,
ko si v njej našla maslo.
Zamišljala sem si
kako bi naju upodobili
na oltarski plošči:
mene s klobaso v naročju
tebe s presto v rokah.
Brez otrok,
in pojma,
da bova zamudili letalo.
Bees are cool... 🐝
Bee! I'm expecting you!
Was saying Yesterday
To Somebody you know
That you were due —
The Frogs got Home last Week —
Are settled, and at work —
Birds, mostly back —
The Clover warm and thick —
You'll get my Letter by
The seventeenth; Reply
Or better, be with me —
Yours, Fly.

Pobožala si me,
po moji hrapavi strukturi:
ni te odvrnila.
Šla si dlje,
(preko gnusa)
potrpežljivo tipala,
da bi ugotovila,
če sem res tista,
ki seže tako globoko,
da trka na nebo tvojega sveta,
Perzefona.
