give me pain

Srečko  Kosovel

give me pain
let me still move!
I'm a scorched earth-
the black tree that burned.
You walk through and smell a whiff of cremation.

Give me your word
let me believe him
beaten by all around.
I'm a burnt tree
how do i make a noise
in the evening wind?

Dumbness

Edvard Kocbeck

Above the nest the hawk completes its circle,
fly over ,    robber
and horror on my lips tenderly breathes its excitement
and silence my cry.

I am the hunt and the hunt, the hunter and the wet kind,
I am the hunting ground and the hunt,
I smuggle back the yarn, the bread of dreams without premonitions.
don't know where my roof is.

Too many delusions for me to hear
I know too many lies
I surrender to silence, spirit among demons,
unaided and alone.
