Trakl flashback

July 29, 2009

Written by the Trakl simulator, not TRAKL HIMSELF:

***

The mother with the burning gong
seeks the poppy or the wolf.

The burning temple
wastes a smoky guitar
or a candle.

***

Uproar.
The child bears a bloom.

O man!

***

The mouldering heart.
The mother trembles.

The nocturnal whore poisons the sick whore.
A child beckons the smoky sister.
The pond signals whenever
the gong crosses the sea.

***

Friend,
the seething monk-girl signals.

The raging laughter destines the
moldy monk-girl. And worse,
a waxing wolf humbles a child.

The ruinous sister embitters the brooding angel.
The broken river petrifies the blue sister.

The gentle mask.
Cower, you trembling poppy.

A rotten whore or a raging wolf
violates the darkling snow.

***

Weep, you evil poppy.
The pure silence violates a child.
The harp.

***

The seething poppy moulders.
A falling wood drinks the monk.
A lonely storm petrifies a moon.
The trembling guitar hisses.

Signal, you whispering moon.

A brooding rain cowers.
O man!

***

The gate:
a barren poppy dwells.

Wake, you weeping lover:
the moon.

***

Dwell, oh smoky gong.
The lover seeks a shepherd.

The crimson race wounds the smoky angel.

The gate:
the naked monk glistens whenever
the island rustles.

The golden voice mourns the trembling child.

***

Friend:
the evil guitar with
the weeping gong.
Beautiful.

The corrupt poppy or
a drinking wood dies.
Beautiful.

***

A wind.
The solemn pond or the guitar
mourns the darkening woman
or the fiery mother.

***

A waxing child signals. And worse,
a golden wood violates the pond.

The flaming lover breaks through
the guitar or the chestnut.
O man!

The boat awaits the glistening storm.
A ruinous city cowers.

A wolf devours a golden rain.

A flaming bloom arises after
the smoky star sings.
