So here are two poems from Mirek and Johannes.
In other news, I marched on the Royal Bank of Scotland and lost a kneecap, and next month I will be responsible for sheparding the Nazi contingent through modern Berlin.
I will got in a corner and die now.
Aquarius
Tip the tumbler for water
You hold it out to me
To take from your hands.
You sip and swallow and sip again
And lean over for me
To take from your lips.
Hold the water, for when I kiss you
And taste it on your lips
Instead of the ash that chokes me.
-By Mirek.
Aquarius
Cradle a bowl of water
Your hands frail as twigs
Brittle bones bowing beneath
But holding high the gift
Sweet water to parched mouths
Of your Broken People
Pour down a waterfall of plenty
To cracked and parted lips
Glory and exhaustion on giving
And giving. The water bowl is empty
But you stand full and tall.
-By Johannes.
