SOUL WORK

The reflections of

her yesterdays

stare back at her

ghosts of unresolved

desires haunt her

and she navigates

the waterways

of tears as she

seeks to exorcise

the demons that

plague her present

Czech/English - Nicota/Void

This is one of the very few poems I actually wrote in Czech first, and so I will put the Czech version 1st and the English 2nd. The English version is also one of the poems in "Shadows on the Carpet" section 3 - 'Lunacy'.

NICOTA

Stojím v stínu měsíce,

bez duše,  bez srdce.

Není iluze,

není sen,

není naděje.

Jen před očima temno

a pod nohama střepy

VOID

Standing in the shadow of the moon,

Without a heart,  without a soul,

There is no illusion,

There is no dream,

There is no hope,

Darkness before my eyes,

Shattered pieces beneath my feet.
