Scrabble of Babel

Trying to cross our tongues (nothing to do with kisses);

Mine irritates your guts, yours entirely misses,

For your tongue is melodic, full of bizarre pronouns,

Tonal, monosyllabic, difficult to pronounce.

Mine is strict and straightforward, mathematical, even -

Syllogisms and causality, total derives from given,

"THE VISIT"

The world is growing older

I still keep coming back for more

every year, as a reminder

hopefully, to turn you better

How have you been?

Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara

Crossing the highway

I've dived into every ocean and fallen from every sky,

I've been to hundreds of continents, and wouldn't count the countries,

I scarred the face of the planet with a helix of dirty tracks.

I've even visited elves at their iridescent homeland.

There is one terra incognita, where the grass is greener,

But it lays on the other side of a mighty incessant highway.

by Mark Levitin

The evening in London

When the sun was sitting and the tube took me back

We went together to our hotel

She used to whisper to me and I didn't mind listening

I was sober, sometimes I was confused as well

So when the sun went down

The no good

I have to be swept

No place in the tribe

By four hands I'm kept

And one easy swipe

The scrubber will pass

Alien dreams

Often i'm haunted by alien dreams,

Higher than mine and brighter,

Dream i of roofs and of secret rooms,

Soaring copper kites.

Dream i at times that i'm not myself,

I'm no more the writer

"YOUR TOXICITY"

It’s the environment

I’d rather not be in

full of such impossible demands

and scolding remarks

for my lack of perfection

Green Man's burden (a parody on R. Kipling)

Take up the Green Man's burden,

Your superhuman curse,

Drag useless thoughts and concepts

Across the Universe.

Through interstellar darkness,

Through void that none have paced,

by Mark Levitin

Hysteria

It's broken me

Is twirling me

And I fell like I'm drunk

Yeah, I've been endlessly

Cleansed within

But no one cares around

Павло Чернявський

"THE BAD BLOOD BEFORE THE BLOODBATH"

The bitch-fest seems to drag on and on

No wonder the soap operas’ ratings are down

Each finds ways to stab their opponents

perhaps until all is completely gone

What’s with the bad blood?

by Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara

"THE LEAST INTERESTING"

How do you know you’re not missed?

Try to walk away and disappear

Who’s going to reach out to you?

Seriously, who?

You’re probably offended

Ruby - Astari Boedikoentjara

My own summer

See me spit on you

I don't care whether you anger

Or just get shy looking down

Just like a slave going to slaughter

I'll never care anymore

And I've buried myself

Павло Чернявський
