Aséna - Tahir Hamut Izgil

A piece of my flesh

torn away.

A piece of my bone

broken off.

A piece of my soul

remade.

A piece of my thought

set free.

I long to hold some lady - Leonard Cohen

I long to hold some lady

For my love is far away,

And will not come tomorrow

And was not here today.

In the midst of life, behold - Notker Balbulus

In the midst of life, behold

Death has girt us round.

Whom for help then shall we pray,

Where shall grace be found?

In their own language - Ken Arkind

the butterfly farts

the fart changes the butterfly's flight pattern

the cat on the window sill sees the butterfly

the cat jumps at the butterfly

the cat misses the butterfly

the cat falls in the fountain

I Scarce Believed - Marjory Nicholls

I wondered once, when life, so it did seem,

Was holding to me hands where gifts were laid,

Laughing Blue - Adil Latefi

Maybe these words make no sense

Maybe they mean everything

Your voice - Stevan Tontic

Always after three, the most seven days

Your voice for a minute

On Belgrade’s nightly telephone.

Total - Enes Halilović

The wall.

The wall unbuilt.

The wall built.

The wall added.

The wall ruined.

a chair - Reinaldo Perez Só

this is a chair

just a chair

For a Time of Pestilence - Ephrem the Syrian

The Church is desolate and sits mournfully

For no one enters or departs; 

Thy decree hath destroyed them! 

And the priests groan in the holy place, 

With loud sighs for their companions 

Who have departed from them for ever!
