Diszkont báj

Szúr és sárga. Hét az ága.
Böki a szemet.
Penetráns bűz! Fertőtlenítenek.

Semmi cicó! Használt ruhák, kilós
cuccok boltja.
Innen meg át, a kínain túlra

szegénység szín-szaga vezet.
A gumi. Az óvszerhiba.
Használj, dobj, és leszen

bódító illatorgia.
Ájult gyönyörben – vagyon.
Kihúz még egy évadot.

A mutatós szoknya – talán. Ám amint a
szem leszalad, tiszta
sor, hogy harisnyámon tavalyi a minta.

Anyagában csíkos. Mintha
ez volna a márka.
Szalad a szem, csík marad utána.

Thrift Shop Charm

Prickles and yellow. Has seven hands.
Pulling the eyes out.
Piercing stench! Smell of disinfection.

Act natural. Thrift shop for used clothes
by the pound. The colored smell
of poverty is leading the way

across the Chinese market and beyond.
A rubber. Hole in the condom.
Use it, throw it and let there

be a doped out fragrance orgy.
In fainting pleasure – wealth.
Has a chance for an extra season.

Nice skirt – perhaps. But as soon
as the eyes run down, it comes to light
that my tights have an old fashioned style.

It’s fabric is striped. As if it was
its trade mark.
The eye runs, a stripe makes a mark.

Idioma: esperanto

Brokanta ĉarmo

Flava, pika. Sepradika.
Okulbalasta.
Pro desinfekto, fetoro. Drasta!

Sen ajno kroma! Vendo brokanta,
vestoj brokintaj.
Kaj de ĉi tie trans la ĉinejon

stiras stink’ kaj bunt’ mizeren.
Kaŭĉuko. Kondomo lika.
Uzu, ĵetu kaj ekos

odororgi’ sensperdiga.
En svena volupt’ – fortuno.
Transdaŭros plian sezonon.

La pimpan jupon – eble. Sed kiam la ŝtrumpo
sin malnodas, klaras:
ĉi tiu model’ estas malmoda stumpo.

Elfabrike stria. Trompo
laŭ skal’ industria.
Dismaŝiĝ’: postrestas strio fia.

Idioma: indonesio

Pesona yang luput

Kuning cerah—tujuh sinar.
Menusuk mata berbinar.
Bau amis. Sedang dihajar.

„Bersikaplah wajar!”
Baju bekas berjajar
Di seberang pasar

Cina, dan di bawah, dipandu aneka bau kemelaratan.
Kondom-kondom kegagalan.
Digunakan, dibuang, lalu diabaikan

Tengik cairan kelamin. Kekayaan—
ialah gilanya kesenangan.
Mengulurkan pelbagai ukuran.

Rok sempit nian—mungkin. Tapi kala penglihatan
Turun ke paha, transparan
Celana ketat kubeli tahun silam.

Ada jenjang di atas kain. Seakan-akan
merek dagang. Ada noda bungkam,
bekasnya terkuak pandangan.

Idioma: albanés

Joshje e zbritshme

Athët, e verdhë – si shtatë rreze.
Goditëse në sy.
Duhmë therrëse. Sikur Ajo është duke u sterilizuar.

“Veprim natyror!” Rroba të dorës së dytë
me kilogram.
Të gjitha nga tregu kinez lart dhe poshtë

E shoqëruar nga era me ngjyrë të varfërisë.
Sende gome. Një dështim prezervativi.
Për një përdorim, huqje, dhe le të ketë pa atë

Marramendësi kundërmuese – orgji .
Pasuria – është kënaqësi të pavetëdijshme.
Duke mbajtur nga një tjetër masë mbi.

Shkëmbore e mrekullueshme – ndoshta. Por syri
shkon poshtë te kofshët dhe është e qartë,
si trikot e blera vitin e kaluar mbetet shija.

Një shkallë si pëlhurë. Sikur
ai ishte krejt aty. Një nuancë mbetet,
një syth kujtimi në shikimin që të ndjek pas.

Idioma: alemán

Billig-Charme

Ist gelb und kratzt. Astreiner Rabatt.

Sticht ins Auge.

Stinkt penetrant! Tötet Infekte ab.

Schön unauffällig sein! Am Grabbeltisch

per Kilopreis. Aroma und Farbstich

der Armut sind die Wegbereiter

zum China-Markt und führen noch weiter.

Der Gummi. Ein Kondom mit Loch.

Benutz mich, wirf mich weg, verschaff dir doch

eine betäubende Orgie aus Duft.

Entrückte Verzückung – das Kapital.

Eine Saison lang hat es noch Luft.

Der schicke Rock - vielleicht. Das Aug

schaut abwärts und die Masche ist passé,

altmodisch ist mein Strumpf, wie eh und je.

Ihr Stoff gestreift. Er könnte taugen

als Markenware. Doch die Augen

gleiten, ein Streifen setzt Zeichen.
