All the World - Langa Sarakikya

Several times a day
the same play
features in the recesses
of a collective mind

Prophecy - Jules Supervielle

not a rock or ravine.

The Cooking Pot And The Sickle - Edasseri Govindan Nair

I.
Who in the last season had sown
The Aryan¹ seeds in this field with love?
When the hot sun of March burned
Rain - fire above, red embers below,

Dawn purples all the East with light - Ambrose of Milan (Augusta Treverorum)

Dawn purples all the east with light;
Day o'er the earth is gliding bright;
Morn's sparkling rays their course begin;
Farewell to darkness and to sin!

Lament VI - Jan Kochanowski

Hearing thy songs so sweetly, deftly wrought,
That thou shouldst have an heritage one day
Beyond thy father’s lands: his lute to play.

Happy days will break through the pain - Fedir

Everyone says school's quite thrilling
You make the first steps on your own.
But I'm about to forget this feeling,
My best school years were stolen.

As random drops of white rain leap into the boats.

Insomnia - Farhan Ejat

I remember one day someone I’ve met
Told me a story hard to forget
Asked me how well do I sleep at night
And if it’s true that bed bugs bite?

My desire... - Nadezhda Zaharieva

My desire is to find a shelter
In some god forsaken wilderness,
Bathe in virgin dew-drops Eden's water,
Drink a scent of herbs – luxturiaters
And lie-down in cradle-greenery;

America is a Gun - Brian Bilston

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree

America is a gun.
