Gabrielė Labanauskaitė Poems
They will take your picture again
In this kitchy sunset
Among monolithic cliffs and mists of smog
For a pretty Japanese postcard.

As in the Mayan calendar, the years gone by

Signifying nothing more than an empty shell.
Our existence

Yesterday I saw trout swim about
And spawn between the vocal chords
Words made from letters, weave a net
From consonants and vowels

They drink champagne in river valleys
And bubbles rise in river valleys to the top

In river valleys they forget it all and stop.

The Best Poem Of Gabrielė Labanauskaitė
FUJI
They will take your picture again
In this kitchy sunset
Among monolithic cliffs and mists of smog
For a pretty Japanese postcard.
They will take your picture again
And will scan the iris of the eye,
There a lonely old man with burned legs
Looks through the window of his hospital room.
They will take your picture again
Colorful Fuji blocks
Immortalized in USB
Perhaps - first like a gay man,
Sad ly sipp ing mojitos.
They will take your picture again
A New Age story
So much blood on the keyboard
Maybe it's just ironic
That after traveling all night through myspace
You only found a single star
Crumb ling with hardcore
Experimental screams
Of...
a soothing melody
Translation from Lithuanian by Ada Valaitis
