IT'S EITHER US OR THEM

The world turns creaking

on its axis

of injustice, casting

its myriad victims

into the void

while the unjust

rule from their

binary thrones

of zeroes and ones,

coiled around

the body politic

strangling,

suffocating.

It's either us

or them.

WHEN LIGHT FILLS THE COSMOS

Nearly fourteen billion years

of cosmos evolving

to thread its void

with glittering galaxies

and now the universe

made us to be

its eyes,

to express wonder

at seeing itself

in its bright prime.

TO ENCOMPASS HIM

Just now

it would be a quick

thing,

just pulling

those panties

pussy, pushing

in, thrusting,

to feel her

him.

ON THE 36TH DAY OF THE YEAR

Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine

the European Union chants

while supporting genocide

MY LONELY HANDS

My hands,

feeling lonely,

yearn for

the company

of your breasts.

MY HUNGRY MOUTH

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,

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.

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,

helping military occupations

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,

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

the politicians and the press,

serving their rich masters,

are doing their worst

our erasure

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.

FROM WRITING TO READING

I could write

all evening

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?

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.
