Straw Sculptures. Mouth.

by Sang Sik Hong

Òmes revoutats,

es a dire

òmes

Rotland Pécot

 

Mute will the revolt irrupt this season.     

Teeth, as a row of white sheaves,

will set a barricade for words

and in the frothy ocean of the throat 

will slogans and tokens

convulsely founder.

 

Once over,

suddenly turned into water hoses,

eyes will finally drain

the arteries’ resilient rage.

 

Only then, will the òmes,

risen up in silences

make the stubbles tremble.
