Mis ojos apagan entre renglones de descanso
Punto, coma, punto seguido
parentesis
Te extraño
Cierro parentesis
Quiero besarte
Aun recuerdo como entre instantes fuimos eternos
Nuestros besos achicados eran puntos
suspensivos,
de un corazon a guiones
Fuimos dialogo entre un escenario embestido
Te recite poesia a miradas y coqueta miraste
Mia, me miraste
Tuya, te mire
Nos miramos
Recuerdo tacto correteado a miedos queriendo,
arrancar
Despojame de estas penas
Burguesas y yo tan pobre te ofrezco sonrisas de oro
tal vez
amarillentos por cafe
Adormecidos ojos moca
Estan dormidos
que nadie se atreva a despertarlos
Otoño ausente, verano infante
Comienzo escribiendote
No hay un punto interprete
Rebelion profana,
vuelveme cancion
Para cantarle cada que de ella y yo
Adormecido corazon
Yo por ti,
estoy
Adormecido

Modlitwa o wschodzie slonca
Kazdy Twój wyrok przyjme twardy
Przed moca Twoja sie ukorze
Ale chron mnie, Panie, od pogardy
Od nienawisci strzez mnie, Boze
Wszak Tys jest niezmierzone dobro
Którego nie wyraza slowa
Wiec mnie od nienawisci obron
I od pogardy mnie zachowaj
Co postanowisz, niech sie zisci
Niechaj sie wola Twoja stanie
Ale zbaw mnie od nienawisci
Ocal mnie od pogardy Panie...
--Jacek Kaczmarski
Dawn Prayer
To Your harshest judgments I resign myself
I am humbled by Your power
But protect me Lord from hatred
And shield me from contempt
Because You are boundless providence
The ineffable One
So give me refuge from hatred
And give me sanctuary from contempt
May Your wishes be carried out
Let Your will be done
But shield me from hatred
Deliver me from contempt, my Lord .

Dimly lit with staged spotlight
The beatnik coffee house
Espresso or moca in every cup
Black berets and sandals (optional)
Digging the sounds of be bop
In dark sunglasses
Renditions of Miles and Coltrane
Smoke like dry ice in water
Dancing and disappearing
In light in darkness
Satisfaction and discontentment
Free love and hopelessness
Remembering the past
Thinking of the future
With neck-or-nothing passion
In black
Stepping to the open mike
A poet appearing
No applause
Finger snaps beating claps
Extempore and reading the script
Tables nodding and chanting groans
Finger snaps speeding claps
Nodding and groaning
More and more and more
Oobalee owa. Selah.
A poet disappearing
Satisfied and away discontent
Freely loved and away hopeless
Remembering the past
Thinking of the future
With neck-or-nothing passion
In black
Berets and sandals (optional)
Digging the sounds of be bop
Stepping to the open mike
The smoke dancing and disappearing
Speaking of light into unseen darkness
Dimly lit with staged spotlight
At the beatnik coffee house
