Room Decorations

On the left the blue wall paper, a hallucination of the skies, sprinkled by the hot

mouth praying, turned towards the wall.

Permanently chewing words. Mouth breeze accompanying the brain’s haze.

Imaginary icons in the roughcast and in the paper strips glued to it.

One last mosquito searching for my blood, foreseeing that it will not be crushed

on that paper sky.

On the right, right next to the night cream the glass of black tea and between

my friends’ books the alarm clock, usually I keep forgetting

To change its batteries just like forgetting to drink that tea and to tame those

dark rings under my eyes. In me, how could I call them, infrared dragons,

ignorant cell daughters of the chaos, lurking in all corners, and in me also angels with

swords of lilies and a ladder for God. In front of me people mating, flying and falling.

Building bridges and houses only to demolish them or to explode them.

People writing books as lavatories are too small for their excrements. And people with

masks or with stuffed pigeons in their mouths. Pseudo friends, politicians, parapsychologists, prophets and parasites: television-jungle.

 

Behind me the illusion of white blossoms falling onto my carpet. My father in a vase. Nobody above me and nobody at the door, not even me.
