SOFTLY – Poetry by František Halas

SOFTLY

Lean spike is your body, from which the grain is dropped and will not return to sprout as a lean spike is lean your body. Skein of silk is your body, penned by the lust to the last wrinkle, like a skein of silk is your body. Sky burned is your body, in death fabric dreams ambushes, as a burnt sky is your body. Sweet is your body, his weeping moves my eyelids, how sweet your body.

(František Halas)
