MY LONELY HANDS

My hands,
feeling lonely,
yearn for
the company
of your breasts.

MY HUNGRY

My mouth,
my hungry mouth,
yearns to feel
your nipples
on its lips,
to suck them,
to lick them
with its tongue,
biting them
with its teeth
to satisfy
its hunger.

NETANYAHU'S ELITE BRIGADE AT WORK

Yesterday Israel murdered 25
people, including eight children,
in occupied Palestine's Gaza,
today Western journalists
buried them nameless
in an unmarked mass grave
without ceremony.

THE PYRAMIDS AT GIZA

The dead kings
built the pyramids
to hide their corpses
in eternal rest, stone
engines of resurrection,
of immortality,
and now not even
dust remains of the kings,
yet the engines
of immortality,
without resurrection,
convey their memory.

But nameless go
the hands that
quarried and fit
stone to stone.

Often you can't 
read more

without wanting 
to write one;
in protest,
admiration,
inspiration
or plagiarism
of message
if not form.

HOPE FOR MEETING OUR LOST LOVED ONES AGAIN

On a distant shore,
after crossing the separating ocean,
on a far distant green isle
where the spirits dwell
of those who sailed away
in years gone
by, to meet them again,
rejoining what was broken,
in love beyond life
embracing.

ON THE 24TH DAY OF THE YEAR

Twelve degrees below zero,
cloudy, twenty-five minutes
to three in the morning,
awake in the landscape
of your life, long vistas
expanding back in time,
but no paths to walk them,
to go travel backwards
from this moment
to those valleys in time's
geography where they still
live and you, half someone
else, half the one you are now,
in this moment being carried
farther and farther from them.

PALESTINE, WESTERN SAHARA AND ESTONIA'S KAJA KALLAS

If an Estonian is freed 
from Soviet occupation,
soon the Estonian 
is going around the world
helping military occupations
and illegal annexations 
of occupied nations.

THERE WILL BE A FUTURE FOR HUMANITY

If there's a future,
it's a future humanity has won
from the grip of our elites,

banishing them from power,
excluding them from existence
in the name of the common good,

and there's no future
for humanity
in which they have won.

They bring only death
and destruction
and an end for everything.

ON THE 33RD DAY OF THE YEAR

Bright, cold hours
passing in fitful sleep,
getting up to make sure
the water flows, 
before going under
the spell of sleep,
setting the alarm
for another wakening
to fight the freeze,
this twelve hours,
then dark, cold hours
but in them
the burning remembrance
of the joy of last night,
the words, the verses
it begets.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUILD A TIME MACHINE TO FIX THIS

The world went wrong in 1985.
In Science Fiction circles
they call that 'a Jonbar Point',
where timeline can be altered
to bring an utterly different future.
Instead of Gorbachev gaining
power to lose the Cold War
and the USSR, we could have had
some hardliner, and then
the Cold War would continue,
the United States
wouldn't be defecating
and urinating upon the entire planet,
it would be contained,
we would be winning the fight
against Global Warming,
welfare states would still prosper,
and the humanity wouldn't be
looking at an abyss,
with billionaires trying
to push over the edge.
Someone needs to build
a time machine to fix this.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL, BUT THIS IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE CORRECT POSITION BY OUR RULERS AND THEIR PRESS

So many supposed human beings
have been shouting for years

If you oppose Genocide,
you support Holocaust!

while others have gone
for Genocide denial, claiming

Victims of Holocaust
can't commit Genocide!

While the Genocide goes on,
the genocide they support.

GET RID OF THEM, FOR HUMANITY'S SAKE

Deep cold
for days now
and you know
it's driven by
Global Warming
and the deniers
claim there can't be
Climate Change
because it's cold
when scientists
have warned 
decades and decades
that this is how
it would be,
long summers 
of hot drought,
winters of deep cold,
and through these
cold days
the politicians and the press,
serving their rich masters,
are doing their worst
to ensure
our erasure
as a species
from the planet
they are defiling.

HOW MANY WAYS?

How many ways there are
to take knickers off
from a lovely shape?

With his hands slowly,
kissing revealed flesh
with every downward movement,

a long playful game
of revealing
the sweet hidden rose,

or with his teeth, awkwardly,
putting in the effort
while she laughs,

and with the desperate movements
of one who needs to feast
on the glory they hint and hide,

hardly knowing what
one does, consumed by desire,
knickers flying off

from trembling, lustful hands
for fingers and mouth
and his aching shaft.

SEEING HER GIFT

The first feeling was amazement
that burst outwards like the shell
of a star exploding as a supernova
while the core of feelings collapsed
into a massive neutron star of desire
inside a nebula of lust.

AS HE GAZED

Only later would he think
"Those knickers need to go"
because just now
they were perfect
in their invitation
to step outside the moment
he had existed in,
the bleak, cold winter night,
perfect in their invitation
to dream and imagine,
to be lustful and romantic
and horny, possibilities
expanding in vivid visions
in his mind as he gazed.

SURPRISED WITH JOY

Coming up cold from the basement
and then finding your gaze
filled with enticing beauty -
what were the words of C. S. Lewis?
Surprised with joy.

All joy comes from the same
inner human spring of emotion,
earthly or divine love is pure
in all its forms, fresh
from your innermost source.

Surprised with joy
budding, blooming, bursting out
to fill one's very being,
clearing out all the taint
and becoming you.

LET THEM BE

You have written enough,
etched a few verses into
time tonight.

Let them be, let them be - 
you gave the words their place,
now let the verses be.

IF THE FLESH IS CUT

Words, words -
one is made of words
on days like this,
if the flesh is cut,

HANDING IT BACK TO THE DINOSAURS

The ape sits inside
in the glowing light,
the dinosaurs outside

FROM WRITING TO READING

I could write
all evening
and through the night,

but perhaps it's better
to put the figurative pen aside
and pick up a book

and travel far,
for better minds than mine
have written 

through their whole lives
to give my mind
free travel tickets to their worlds.

THE FIRST BLUE FLOWERS

Seven hours and thirty-nine minutes,
that was the length
of the day today,

tomorrow it will be
a few minutes more,
and as the days go by,

one after another
adding and adding,
cumulating light,

one day awakening
it will be spring,
the melting snow,

the thawing land
bringing mud and pools,
the remains of the summer,

what is left of the autumn,
the first winged songs
and the long rainy days,

the Sun clearing clouds
magnificent up high,
and the first little blue flowers.

01.02.2026

READING BUSON

Buson, what
would a freezing winter night
like this
have evoked in you,

or would you have turned
to your master,
Bashõ, to hear his voice,
like I turn to you

reading your haikus
as the winter night
crackles in the darkness
around my flickering light.

BUT THE SELFISH MOMENTS

You must give
what people need,
not what you want
to give them,
he says to himself -
    
but the selfish moments,
they come to him
like rogue waves
across the oceans,
he says to himself,

forgetting that
us human beings
are not the boats
facing the waves,
but the ocean.

BUT OF THE MAN HIMSELF I CAN SAY LITTLE

I have a raw translation
of one of the average
poems of Wystan Hugh Auden,
Oxford, waiting polishing,
jagged lines, stumbling
word choices needing
turning into a resemblance of verse,
but of the man
himself I notice I can say little;
that crossing of the Atlantic
on the eve of war -
what I can say when wars
will still follow people
the rest of their lives?

wonder
how your buttocks

just because
I want
to feel you
pressed against me,
know how your

one hand wrapped
around you,
the other
between your
naked thighs,
climbing.

TEN YEARS BEFORE THE WALLS OF TROY

Ten years before the walls of Troy
you stood and killed,
and then the city burns,
and you sail home
with whatever you plundered
and whoever you enslaved
to the rest of your life
to be lived
in the shadow of the walls of Troy,
and there will be some drama
when you are back at home
in midst of strangers,
amidst strife of old grudges
and new; a chorus will
sing your coming doom,
and then a knife or sword
or poison shall be wielded
to bring an appropriate end
that might as well arrived
while you stood ten years
before the walls of Troy 
and killed.

And then in the Hades
you are a shadow among
shadows standing
before the walls of Troy.

People who commit genocide,
people who support genocide,
people who ignore genocide

they are all today commemorating a genocide,

ZIONISTS

You have committed a genocide
and you celebrate it,

you mock the murdered,
you mock the survivors,

and you declare
that no one can criticize the genocide,

that no can be allowed to oppose
you, the genocidaires.

That you do whatever you want
because who you are.

And you expect
and you demand

that all still mourn a genocide
that ended over eighty years ago,

genocide which according to you
gives you the 'right' to commit this genocide,

which must be praised
because you did it.

You want to be genocidaires
and you want to be genocide survivors,

and one can't be both.
Which leaves you being genodidaires.

ALTERNATE EVOLUTION

Translating you see the possible paths
the poem could have taken
and while staying on the true path
for the translation,
you also take an another path
and walk it to a homage
that can go no farther
than where that path ends,
or a poem that might have
enough wings if not to fly
then to glide past
where that path ends,
leaving you behind.

YOU CAN FIND JOY IN LITTLE THINGS

You can find joy in little things,
the first Paranthropus found in Afar
extending the hominid's range,
that you walked to the mailbox and back
today, picking up a new bank card,
that the walk evoked vague memories
of other winter days that no photograph
had captured and were until now lost,
that you told a few people what Prabowo
did in East Timor when you yourself
still hadn't learned to read or write,
that you lived to write these lines,
and that after the last word and the dot
you will get up and make coffee
and start translating Yeats
and that in the endlessly branching
multiverse billions and trillions of you
will live to get the Yeats done.
