Autumn and the Moon Audio

Autumn and the Moon

The wind screamed

In circles

The sky wept

Trees shed sheathes

Of leaves that

Flew and joined

The debris

Of life in

A dance of

The macabre

As the moon

Choked on the

Dust and died

Podzim a měsíc

Vítr kvílí

v čarovném kruhu

Nebesa pláčou

Stromy se svlékají

do naha

Aby srostly

s troskami života

V tanci smrti

A měsíc

v tom prachu

Umírá

Ethereal Woman - Seattle Soul

This poem was inspired by a photo I took from a moving car when I was visiting my son and family in Seattle in the fall of 2010.  Can you see her face in the photo?  

Ethereal Woman

Hidden in plain

Sight between two

Pine trees

She sighs as cars

In ignorance

Drive by

Until someone

Taking pictures

Captures

Her image on

Camera and

Frees her

English/Czech - Fall Softly/Listopad

Just finished translating this poem the other day - couldn't do an exact translation but it's close enough.

Fall Softly

As the heavens wept

Autumn leaves tattooed

Delicate pale

Impressions of fall

Softly on my soul

Listopad

Když nebesa smáčela

moji duši

podzimní listí něžně

tetovalo pobledlé

podzimní dojmy
