Pavol Janik | Dodir

THE TOUCH (English)

Landscape of a country of miracles.
Beds of the bankless rivers of salty water.
Under them flows a boiling metal.
A female trunk is smouldering in my arms.

(1981)

HMAT (Slovak)

Pôdorys krajiny zázrakov.
Bezbrehé korytá slaných riek.
Pod nimi preteká vriaci kov.
V rukách mi dotlieva ženský driek.

(1981)

DODIR (Serbian)

Pejzaž države čuda.
Korita slanih reka bez obala.
Ispod njih teče ključajući metal.
U rukama mi tinja ženski trup.

(1981)
