still cold

____

For a long stretch

before some other death

His, mine, of an unknown soldier

buddy,

walked alongside a tiny man

unsteady and insecure

round glasses

The tired face and eyes

Waiting

Stano spoke a focus

Perhaps advanced foreign

In that foreign land

astronomer said

tried in the black every night

planets that were only star for me

Vague lights, glow unnamed

I remember everyone had appointed

One by one

Pluto

Venus Jupiter Uranus

Mars, the red

And others whose names I had never even heard

I said listen

Make

silence is the sound of the planets

Harmony, music

Notes

closed his eyes

It was lost

Elsewhere

The envied

I doomed never dream

died, all died as

And I never heard the music

Dei His eternal stars.

_____

Fire and smoke

Red homes

Embers and sparks

Fire

Roghi

As a medieval inquisitorial party

burning everything

The enemy fled

Fire and smoke

Flames and black powder

Nothing

handfuls of ashes and soot

few remains

nothing remains

crackling fire talks

His voice is hoarse

Violent and presumptuous

around us

front of us

Only fires

The enemy fled

And behind

handfuls of parched earth

What crumbles between your fingers

Like sand in a desert

Without illusions.

_____

Rhyme

Another step

make another

One still

Make each step still

Do not stop do not think

Let pe advance

Silly rhyme

screamed like a triumphal march

undefeated Army

Glory of the Empire Grand Army

Humming like children

Unconcerned

Another step

make another

One still

Make each step still

Do not stop do not think

Let pe advance

Other verses not remember

In the snow that melted

maybe two more to A

He sang the enemy

of the death of hunger and cold

There is no escape There is no escape

remember the end

The last verse

There is no escape.

______

Before

a day after its sunset

As night falls dark

apex of the sun

Hora Canonicae spent in quiet prayer

head bowed staring at the snow

step advancing

Again and again

The first, the third,

Cries light

The Executioner in the ranks sixth

Vocation to walk

Inside the snow

Slowly sinking

The the ninth evening

The dried blood

The sunset and the thud

Compline is performed

The sound of a heart

Rhythm in motion

no plot And no praise

In solitude for company

In solitude, for company

Please.

________

The first time I saw a few days before the fortress was demolished and high

Pendula and decadent
The fog dispersed
And the ancient form of
tower silhouetted against the gray
shadow flickering over the forest was lost
The recalled in his Checkers
languish abandoned and aged
As in that sonnet of Baudelaire
I saw the castle that day
The rain had just stopped
We
not far from the river I saw the castle a second time
A second day with no clouds and rivers without
third day I saw the rock

Before Sunset in the mist that glows red
fourth day I saw the fortress silhouetted against

Pale moon in the sky I saw the rock
a fifth day
Surrounded by sounds
wolves howling and saw the rock
a sixth day without
hours it 's time I saw
the fortress so 'so many times that I stopped counting them

Perhaps thousands
And never asked
Who else besides me saw
identity, following

Next
I went I was with men who do not claim I was with the men

What do not look back.
