The Male Rival

est-ce qu ils me
bloquent?
the assumption 
the muse is her lover
the best muses end up
unloved
with nothing at all
I refuse to be anything
except her man
her lover, companion
her all!

de pierro and kakhidze
vasilisa buratto: feala
mimica!
de piazzolla no:no:no!
il faut chanter avez
un orchestra
sous les
applaudissements de
la foule
si desidera
fah,lah,lah?
potremmo cantare
tutti insieme?
ah: vah e un ritmo
lento
l'intro unisce la donna
e l'uomo
la gelosia di quelli
chi vuole essere
nella posizione in
cui mi trovo
est-ce qu'elle chante
sur scene
est-ce que monisier
fait la meme chose?
il pubblico applaude
per salutarti?
Potrebbero inchinarsi
o inchinarsi
dire che sono felice
che tu sia venuto?
decapo and Dal Segno!

Libertango

I hurry blindly along the wall,
Feel in the dark, grasp, stumble, and fall.
The bird flies into window glass.
I circle in restless search. I’m so
Tired, but there is a door, I know,
And through it I’ll dance onto the grass.


Libertango is a tango by Astor Piazzolla.
