Miroslav Holub Poems

Fish
always accurately know where to move and when,
and likewise
birds have an accurate built-in time sense
...

The bird had come to the very end of its song
and the tree was dissolving under its claws.
...

We have
a microsopic anatomy
of the whale
this
...

You take a kitchen-mallet
and a knife
and hit
the right spot, so it doesn't jerk, for
...

A. Use of the lift
going up
is permitted, provided
...

Given an old woman and given a barrow.
I.e. the system old woman O and barrow B.

The system is moving from the paved yard Y to the corner C,
from the corner C to the Stone S, from the stone S
...

To think I might have been dead,
he said to himself, ashamed, as if this were
a curse of the heart, raising a bundle of bones
...

On the express train to Vienna
she writes in her diary
notes about Rome and Naples.
...

They sap man's substance
as moon the dew.
A rope grows erect
...

Children, when was
Napoleon Bonaparte born,
asks teacher.
...
