Aan mijn eigen graf
by Mario Odekerken

Geen geluid,
alleen het gewicht van stilte
op wat nooit is gezegd.

De voetstappen achter mij
vervagen snel,
alsof ik er nooit was.

Een laatste blik
naar de lucht,

Close
by Cash Olds

You are within arms reach,
Close enough to share the luring smell of your perfume,
close enough always, to bathe in your presence.
No more farther than a drunkard to his drink, you are never farther than a glance away.

Ruin.
desolate ruin is my nature
pain is it's very essence.
I've ripped apart yours,
as well as my very own heart.

Steering Into the Storm
by Jim Kelly

Steering Into the Storm

Simplifying
doesn’t make America less complex.
Or Great Again.
We are a supercar,
racing full-throttle
on roads paved with contradiction.
Precision tooling.
Satellite-guided comfort.

In het oog van de storm
by Mario Odekerken

In het hart van de razernij
waar alles om mij heen breekt,
staat het stil.

Geen wind,
geen stem,
alleen adem
en het bonzen van mijn eigen bestaan.

De wereld trekt aan mij,

Uneasy Reflections
by Maxwell Bodenheim

Determinedly peppered with signs,
The omnibus ambles with curiosity.
Southampton Row, Malborne Road,
Charing Cross-
These names have no relation
To the buildings they partition
If one mutters, 'I shall go to Euston Road,'
Imagination is relieved of all errands
And, decently ticketed, enters the omnibus.
If one muttered, 'I shall go to protesting angles,

Trend or Truth?
by Igor Vykhovanets

The Wachowski Sister-Brothers

Brothers once — now sisters proud.
Trends demand it. Shout it loud!
Questions? Trash them. Truth is banned.
Lie with style — that’s what they planned.

Simple lies? That’s just a start.
You need clout to play the part.
Dare stay honest? Here's your fate:

Am eigenen Grabe
by Mario Odekerken

Kein Klang,
nur das Gewicht der Erde
auf unausgesprochenen Worten.

Die Schritte hinter mir
verhallen schnell,
als wäre ich nie gewesen.

Ein letzter Blick
in das Grau des Himmels,

At my own grave
by Mario Odekerken

No sound,
only the weight of silence
on all that went unsaid.

The footsteps behind me
fade quickly,
as if I was never there.

One last look
at the sky,

Im Auge des Sturms
by Mario Odekerken

Im Herzen der Wut,
wo alles um mich herum zebricht,
herrscht Stille.

Kein Wind,
keine Stimme,
nur Atem
und das Pochen meines eigenen Seins.

Die Welt zieht an mir,
