Bullet Interpreter
what is language? and what is the translation of war?
what is pain? and what is the translation of tears?
take your index finger off the trigger
soldier! the bullet interpreter!
I’m talking about you, o war, o war, o war!
you cease all languages
and bombs
explode humans’ odiousness
in any language
Dark, in a Narrow Pit
I’m a clear question
in a dark world
are you happier than me?
are you more beautiful than me?
are you lonelier than me?
what difference does it make?
a skull in Kabul
or in Washington!?
