The Black Beast (English)

Where is the Black Beast?
Crow, like an owl, swivelled his head.
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow hid in its bed, to ambush it.
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow sat in its chair, telling loud lies against the Black Beast.
Where is it?
Crow shouted after midnight, pounding the wall with a last.
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow split his enemy’s skull to the pineal gland.
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow crucified a frog under a microscope, he peered into the brain of a dogfish.
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow killed his brother and turned him inside out to stare at his colour.
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow roasted the earth to a clinker, he charged into space -
Where is the Black Beast?
The silences of space decamped, space flitted in every direction -
Where is the Black Beast?
Crow flailed immensely through the vacuum, he screeched after the disappearing stars -
Where is it? Where is the Black Beast?

A fekete fenevad (Hungarian)

Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú bagoly módra tekergette a fejét.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú ágyába bújt és onnan leskelt.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú székébe ült s fennszóval rágalmazta a Fekete Fenevadat.
Hol lehet?
Varjú éjfél után kiáltott, sámfával döngetett falat.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú a tobozmirigyig hasította ellensége koponyáját.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú békát feszített górcső alá, cápaagyat vizsgált.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú megölte bátyját s kifordította, hogy színét figyelje.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú klinkerré égette a Földet s az űrbe röppent.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Az űr csendjei feloszlottak, űr szállongott mindenfele.
Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
Varjú a vákuumot csépelte, tűnő csillagok után kaparászott
Hol lehet? Hol a Fekete Fenevad?
