Neodoslaný telegram (Slovak)

Vo mne sa začínajú
trocha modré Vianoce.
V hotelovej izbe sneží
hmlistá vôňa – tvojho
nekonečne vzdialeného parfumu.
Klesáme na tele,
kým v nás stúpajú
ceny nočných telefonátov,
vlny súkromných zemetrasení
a okraje oceánu krvi
po krivke opusteného pobrežia.

Unsent Telegram (English)

Inside me a little bit of
a blue Christmas begins.
In the hotel room it’s snowing
a misty scent – of your
endlessly distant perfume.
We’re declining bodily
while in us the price
of night calls rises,
waves of private earth tremors
and the limits of an ocean of blood
on the curve of a lonely coast.
