"hungarian" poems
a symphony orchestra. there is a thunderstorm, they are playing a Wagner overture and the people leave their seats under the trees and run inside to the pavilion the women giggling, the men pretending calm, wet cigarettes being thrown away, Wagner plays on, and then they are all under the pavilion. the birds even come in from the trees and enter the pavilion and then it is the Hungarian Rhapsody #2 by Lizst, and it still rains, but look, one man sits alone in the rain listening. the audience notices him. they turn and look. the orchestra goes about its business. the man sits in the night in the rain, listening. there is something wrong with him, isn't there? he came to hear the music.

-------------- Just bought a new back wheel For my tall and sturdy bike And riding back from a party I got hit by a big white truck I was cycling by the curb A truck came zooming up I had the space of a meter or more But quickly the space diminished Suddenly I felt it A crunching of the wheel I shouted in anglo-saxon Wehey! As I leapt from the speeding frame I fell into a running roll And stood straight up and turned around My bike was laying flat The back wheel sadly spinning. I wrung my hands and giggled And looked about in awe. The people that saw this happen Came up and shook their heads Are you alright? I cant believe what happened. I didn’t catch his number plate What a ******* crazy driver Are you sure you are alright? A gay irish man was there You uttured a cry he said And then flew from your bike Like a… like a… a ballerina I forced the wheel back into place So it was was sort of fit to roll The chain and gears were gnarled So I couldn’t exactly ride On the way two foreign drunks Looked and spoke about my bike Autobus smash, I said Ohhhhhh they said Finally arriving near finsbury A man who was cycling past Said do you need some help? I said yes please I got run over by a truck What I can do, said thomas from hungary Or what we can do Is take a length of chain out So at least you can get home Ok yes please I said And he bent down and used his little tools And got his hands all oily black And made me a fixed gear bike Now your bike is a fixie bike So im afraid you cant change the gears Like my fixie bike, he said Thanks hungarian dude

What would I do for you?  There's lots of things, actually I would spontaneously start speaking Hungarian for you...but it probably would sound like nonsense and some Hungarian dude    Would be all like "Haver, nem beszél magyarul"         I would shrug, because                        I don't know Hungarian... But I'd still do it for you, if you wanted me to. I would fly us to ancient Mayan burial grounds, where we could    Learn all about a lost culture            We would run into a cursed                                     Mayan Chief, but he'd actually be pretty cool                          He would teach us how to do a rain dance,          Every once in awhile he'd look at you and say "kíichpan"       and I'd be like..."Dude, back off..."                        He's like 2000 years old...                                                               He's way too old for you. I would carve you an Ice Sculpture in your likeness         Taking care to make sure that every detail was perfect and reflected                        Your beauty                               In every possible way.      I'm not too good at Ice Sculpting, though, so it might just end up looking                            Like an oddly-shaped block of ice.       Sorry...             I hope you would like it anyway For you, I would count to infinity      Which might not sound like a feat, at first    But then I would count back to zero   I'm pretty sure no one's done that before....      I won't be able to do it all in one day So it might take awhile...                   Hope you don't mind waiting for me     I would write poetry every day for you             Because I know that I would never run out of things           To write about ....Well, maybe every 'other' day.

Somewhere beneath that piano's superb sleek black Must hide my mother's piano, little and brown with the back That stood close to the wall, and the front's faded silk, both torn And the keys with little hollows, that my mother's fingers had worn. Softly, in the shadows, a woman is singing to me Quietly, through the years I have crept back to see A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the shaking strings Pressing the little poised feet of the mother who smiles as she sings The full throated woman has chosen a winning, living song And surely the heart that is in me must belong To the old Sunday evenings, when darkness wandered outside And hymns gleamed on our warm lips, as we watched mother's fingers glide Or this is my sister at home in the old front room Singing love's first surprised gladness, alone in the gloom. She will start when she sees me, and blushing, spread out her hands To cover my mouth's raillery, till I'm bound in her shame's heart-spun bands A woman is singing me a wild Hungarian air And her arms, and her ***** and the whole of her soul is bare And the great black piano is clamouring as my mother's never could clamour And the tunes of the past are devoured of this music's ravaging glamour.

The Piano (Notebook Version)
(After Lorca) Now in Vienna there are ten pretty women. There's a shoulder where death comes to cry. There's a lobby with nine hundred windows. There's a tree where the doves go to die. There's a piece that was torn from the morning, and it hangs in the Gallery of Frost— Ay, ay ay ay Take this waltz, take this waltz, take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws. I want you, I want you, I want you on a chair with a dead magazine. In the cave at the tip of the lily, in some hallway where love's never been. On a bed where the moon has been sweating, in a cry filled with footsteps and sand— Ay, ay ay ay Take this waltz, take this waltz, take its broken waist in your hand. This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz with its very own breath of brandy and death, dragging its tail in the sea. There's a concert hall in Vienna where your mouth had a thousand reviews. There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking, they've been sentenced to death by the blues. Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture with a garland of freshly cut tears? Ay, ay ay ay Take this waltz, take this waltz, take this waltz, it's been dying for years. There's an attic where children are playing, where I've got to lie down with you soon, in a dream of Hungarian lanterns, in the mist of some sweet afternoon. And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow, all your sheep and your lilies of snow— Ay, ay ay ay Take this waltz, take this waltz with its "I'll never forget you, you know!" And I'll dance with you in Vienna, I'll be wearing a river's disguise. The hyacinth wild on my shoulder my mouth on the dew of your thighs. And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss. And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, my cheap violin and my cross. And you'll carry me down on your dancing to the pools that you lift on your wrist— O my love, O my love Take this waltz, take this waltz, it's yours now. It's all that there is.

At a Parisean restaurant In a quarter undisclosed Unaware of everything The diners sat exposed As Clara and the Prince sat down And prepared to eat their meal Backstage the musician equipped himself The theft who had yet to steal As menus and music case opened The scene was set for all And as Rigo Jancsi took the stage The crowd fell quiet, enthralled The gyspy was a showman His weapon a violin A tune danced out across the room As the strings began to sing Playing notes of tales untold His melody charmed her soul The music pulled her heart to his Over her husband's buttered roll Captivated, entranced and mesmerised Seduced by another life And when the gypsy left that night He took the Prince's wife They ran away and married A scandalous affair Society was most surprised But our story does not end there... Hungarian tales tell of the man Whose music stole a heart Remembered in a chocolate cake And puppets, songs and art One hundred long years later The guitar boy from the band Strummed his notes and stole the girl Heartstrings were played by hand Two stories a century apart What makes these stories the same? Because the boy's band of musicians Used the Hungarian gypsy's name

MY bucketlist
# Along the priarielands-- rolling hills   previously   roamed  by wild buffalo. Grouse sage hens prairie chickens pheasant hungarian partridge      and now you-- You, in that pretty, flowing summer dress- walking that line.. between planted field and wild prairiegrass     and not a blade is broken. Wind-- moving the grass and nearly-ripened crops like slow rolling waves          out on the sea. Me.. watching you       move.. just watching you-- move.. along that line between beautifully-planted and natural..     and moving with understanding;    flowing--    ever-growing    knowing.. sweetly knowing    that there's a glowing    from what you are showing--  me;    Not a blade of grass or crop is    ever harmed by your movements       instead.. like me, they thrive--       leaning into you        whenever you are near.              .       .       .       I am the grass       the blade       the crop-- ready for harvest       the bison       and the upland bird       the forever wave hello       of the tall grass of the prairie.       And you are as much a       part of it all       as you are  of me.       Like the native grass       and the native Lakota          that have  both       always  known its ways..       you were always meant to be here. #

planted fields.. among the tall grass
Constant understanding that holds my mouth ajar. reminiscent stars tangle with words like "How" and "are" tangled, mangled, strangled with that Transylvanian tongue. Straightened teeth bore with smile. Oh, how the world has waited for such. Lovely questions of impaling rulers drinking blood and vernacular across Carpathian Hungarian store owners. Polski #1 says beautiful, Polski #2 asks for no answer, Orthodox Orthodontia and Ignorance taint this experience however lovely it may seem. Cold is the only embrace shaking hands struggle to write every letter of every word presents one good fight. Tooth and Nail. Glances glance eyes, golden demise of any sort of inside. A perfect scowl.

Pehea e koe?
she was a peregrine & appeared to me shimmering in the primordial morning between purgatory & hell talons like a crucial valve-handle carrying me outside the gaudy dream my heart's vagrancy the latent tendency i had of putting chemicals into my body despite the ugly consequences one man's poison another man's high now sunlight fractures into spectra wind blows thru century-old oaks becomes tangled in my nipple-length blond hair as we march hand-in-hand thru these narrow streets the pinched labyrinth the last dusk light this swamp she was a peregrine the hungarian turul genteel brown eyes watching me howl at the midnight moon & yip like a fox at the first dawn light now she shares her own breathy yelps with the pillow like fumes of lavender sprayed in a strand of oaks i know for a fact she has claws she swore she'd never use them to hurt me but sometimes i let her anyway i need to feel those dead fingernails buried in my living shoulder-blades propelling me into a new kind of manhood redeeming my weaknesses weaseling into my shorts pains & insecurities melting like cloud's spit down the windowpane lazy & safe on a warm sunday morning wrapped together in the skin of this gyrating palace this is no longer casual desire: joni mitchell sound-tracked our first makeout sesh as stars bloomed fat behind a surly multitude of clouds over a tar-colored lake so if you think i'm ever letting her go you're a ******* pants-on-fire

Thirty four words on desire
I didn't take a photograph of the statue of Robert Burns. His sightless eyes were looking out over Dunedin, the most Scottish town in the southern hemisphere, and there was a seagull, not a pigeon, standing on his head. I would have called it "Robbie Burns and Friend." And I didn't take a picture of the bus shelter painted all over with jungle foliage and a tiger peeping out over the simulated signature of Henri Rousseau. The title would have been "This Bus Shelter is a Forgery." Neither did I photograph another painted wall, one round a cemetery full of ornate and sombre tombs, with a large and skilfully executed advertisement - Renta Sanitarios Mobiles (Hire Mobile Toilets). It would have been called "Is there no Respect for the Dead?" I didn't take the photo of a Fijian policeman. A pity, for he had such a practical uniform, very smart and cool, in a tasteful shade of policeman-blue, based on the traditional sulu with a striking zigzag hem. The title would have been "A Policeman in a Skirt?!" I couldn't take a photograph of sunset over Popocatépetl – although the sun was setting in a red and golden haze, and the most romantically named mountain is just what you imagine a perfect volcano should be, even to the wisp of steam at the peak – because the sun was actually setting over Ixtaccíhuatl and "Sunset over Ixtaccíhuatl" doesn't have quite the right ring The shape of the mountain is not very picturesque either. Yes, I would have called that one "Sunset over Popocatépetl" – if I could have taken it. My camera wouldn't focus on the crescent moon hanging over the Egyptian skyline, horns pointing up, so close to the Equator, and the evening star (Venus or some more ancient goddess) just above and almost between the points. If that one had worked it would have been called "Islamic Moon." I couldn't possibly have taken a photograph that would do any justice to the young piano student in a Hungarian castle hammering out Liszt as if the hounds of hell were after her, but if I could, I would have had to call it "Apassionata." And I didn't even have time to get my camera out to take a picture of the wild humming bird darting green and unconcerned among dilapidated tenements in the heart of Mexico City. But that living jewel shines bright in my memory, even without a photo. I don't know what I would have called that one, and I'm sure it doesn't matter.

strong latte
I remember when I surveyed your bare shoulder blades
 and the directions they tilted
 as you raised your arms to light and puff and flick,
 puff and flick,
 and how I measured the distance between
 right and left bones that peak and plateau separately,
 but are linked by my favorite unapproachable spine.

Anatomy Of A Hungarian
As I listen to her last breaths, I lay curled on a hard recliner, sick to stomach and head, staring with her with the same blank blue eyes. As I listen to her last breaths, I think what a cruel, painful and ugly world this kind, joyful, beautiful world can be. I think how broken and sad is her spirit, my spirit. As I listen to her last breaths, I think of puppet shows and Mother Goose, of paintings and the blue bike she never rode. Of art classes and musicals, piano songs, of cheezits and coke. I think how sweet she is, even at the end and how lovely they all say she is. She is. Always. As I listen to her last breaths, I think of high school yearbook pictures, of Hungarian Goulash, of sneaking to sleep at the end of her bed, of her notes to herself. I think of fear and worry, pain and disease. Of love and joy, of wit and family. As I listen to her last breaths, I think I didn't appreciate enough, share enough, talk enough do enough, show how very much I loved enough. I think I should tell her how incredibly strong - incredibly strong- she is. As I listen for her last breath.

As I Listen to her last Breaths
Nem élhetek, se nem pusztulnak tovább (I CANNOT LIVE NOR DIE ANY LONGER) For Miklós Radnóti I build this bridge of words so that I can walk back over time and take your hand you to me this man made only of words talking out of a book and I only able to touch you with these used words of mine I clasp your hand in mine call you friend *** Miklós Radnóti, the Hungarian poet, was shot by guards after a forced march from a Serbian labour camp in 1944 and thrown into a mass grave. When his body was later exhumed, a notebook of poems was found sewn into his clothing so even from beyond this lonely grave his words insisted on living. "Don't walk past me, friend. Yell, and I'll stand up again!" I reach out my hand made of words and touch your words that still make you a man.

Nem élhetek, se nem pusztulnak tovább (I CANNOT LIVE NOR DIE ANY LONGER) For Miklós Radnóti
The enchantment of a chase through the damp forests of Celtic mysticism is a treacherous yet beautiful feature of uncertain anticipation. Just like the bustle of the contemporary metropolis, with her predictable and hypnotic flow of trans-national capitalism, we are caught within the web of paradoxical liberty. Thank you for igniting my torch, as I travel across spiritual plateaus where the elements reveal the spirits of the dance. My torch has brought comfort to those stallions who lead me beyond Hungarian kingdoms where Vlad Dracul continues to reign. Hastening into the Societas Draconistarum, the wheels of my carriage have lodged themselves into the stoney and tragic tracks of seductive ****** Please do not forget me.

A Romanian Myosotis
Sensory awareness; fold of translucent light through thin blue sheets. Faint scent of tobacco smoke - morning reveals the desolation of yesterday. Coping mechanisms galore! Scene of poetry without a purpose, scene of black holes in red carpet, scene of high moons by the windowsill and always feeling low, half-stoned on Zopiclone, how I once slept full, breathed from the diaphragm, dreamed with ease - but that was so long ago. Slept-in sheets, weeks of cold sweats and takeaway pizza eaten in bed. 12 hour days on minimum wage, I feel like a gardener on his last legs- a garden to be tended to, a garden that grows all around me. The incense tray is full, synthetic Jasmine, putrid Lemon-grass bought from the Pound Saver solely to talk to the attractive Hungarian woman behind the counter. It's a working day and my mind is in disarray; the sheets are too heavy, I'm a little hungover and I've been going insane. Half-an-hour to be showered, bowels emptied; eyeballs removed - or whatever it is people do to get themselves ready for the day. It's a scene of kicking out in dead-water, it's a scene of black holes and being human, it's a scene of fear for the present day, so much so you cannot build for a future. Half-an-hour to be showered and out of the door, half-an-hour to be someone I'm not- well... I've had to fake it all before.

On Waking
"Having turned the machinery of the Gov't into a corrupt process of getting bad press made on his political opponents, the Bidens, by buying false investigations on them by multiple Gov'ts, must be impeached, now", say Dems, the people. The impeachment investigation has received much evidence to support it, yet, Rumputin/vlad- the-impaler, who were illegally installed into the Blackhouse after the 2016 election, are stonewalling numerous other subpeonas, requests. People have seen evidence of Donald's demanding false investigations of the Bidens be started by the Ukrainian President in exchange for already allocated by Congress 1/2 a bill in anti-tank 'javelins', but not the unreturned voicemails detailing his desires for the same 'quid pro quo' by him to other nations, here's some.  The Donald, 'Hi President of Ghana, I've heard you have some hellified kool-aid, if you investigate the Bidens we'll buy 100's of tons, awaiting your call.' 'Yo, yo, yo, President of Liechtenstein, just calling to let you know if you liechten the Bidens and find some dirt on them, we'll buy a hundred gross of your steins, this is time sensitive, top secret, so get back to us a.s.a.p., pppppllllleeeeeaaassse?' ''Sup, President of Guyana, must be hot in Africa, too bad for you, all kidding aside, I hear you guys have the best kool-aid to die for, if you investigate the Bidens and find dirt on them we'll buy 1/4 of a bill worth.  Limited time offer, bro, sooooo holla.' 'President of Hungary, I've heard you guys are always Hungary, so, if you want a 1000 tons of food 'b' alls you have to do is investigate the Bidens, find dirt on them and provide it to the Steve Bannon set-up Hungarian fox news who'll broadcast it globally over the next year.' The atrocities of it all is all the people can say.  Does this feel like a Greek comedy/tragedy to anyone else?  A quickie impeachment to cover-up the bigger Russiagate one that indicts the whole of the republican conspiracy, just in time for vlad, etc., to hack our next presidential election?

This Is Ragnarok The violent end of worlds you’re pagan ancestors feared Watch as the strikes from Thor steal your comrades from you No Valkyries to guide you No Valhalla to welcome you Ankle deep in mud and rats and **** you load your rifle begging the God you believe in that you won’t have to **** another man How did you find yourself here? An Englishman fighting Germans in France Because a Serbian killed an Austrian in Bosnia Or an Italian, 43 years after your country was unified Or a Serbian, longing to free your countrymen from Austro-Hungarian oppression Or maybe your a Russian, a Frenchman, a Turk Hear the whistle blow Now is your time to storm from the trenches into razor wire and the the hail of bullets You will likely be slaughtered Like the 40,000 French soldier during one week of the war This is a tragedy But this is also a holy experience Like for T E Lawrence Fighting for a cause he never thought he would believe in Or Ernst Jünger Surviving bullet after bullet Endless bombardments This is the heroes journey Do not let your children’s children take away from your sacrifice When they say you died for nothing You believed in your nation and you believed in yourself Do not let them take that away from you You who returned home and were ignored if not simply forgotten Who returned home missing limbs, missing homes, missing loved ones You who were traumatized shell shocked Who could not return home Who returned to what was supposed to be home But life went on without you So you found those who fought with you From your bonds you formed brotherhoods Formed paramilitaries But that all comes later Right now you look death in the eyes and can’t help but laugh Laugh to keep yourself from crying Laugh because you have never felt more alive than in this moment and never will again And in this moment you can’t help but cry out AVANTI ARDITI

In a last emotional csardas, A hurry dashed in hectic trip, From the sidewalk as she slipped, Icy kerb afronts her eyes, Slipped in front of cargo truck, After a darkened dawn, Of much deliberation, Had enough insanity's pain, Stage one, a drowse in melancholy, In dream state, She knew she had to go, Made last retreat in sorrow's march. Life became a chore, Wanted it no more, From melancholy stroll she rushed, Stage two in dance's wild entrance, Under the truck in disregard, Felt the fender hit her hard, Nothing else remained, Except her disregard, For driver, The fear he felt trying to drop his speed, Scarred for life by her own selfish deed, Take this as a cautionary tale, For this is write of fantasy, May be feeling life is an evil curse, Give help a chance, May take a while, Every cloud shrouded in darkness, Conceals a new bright light, Not always so forthcoming, But, things will turn out right! A Csardas is a Hungarian dance in two stages I wrote this as a result of many train journeys to work being disrupted by desperate people throwing themselves in front of the train! It affects the driver, the passengers, and lots of others...no I'm not being harsh...trying to remind sad people that things do improve. I'm afraid I don't do religion, but my regards to those who do ** By ladylivvi1 © 2013 ladylivvi1 (All rights reserved)
