…There are no more real men like in the good old days—
men with proud strides.
When he grabs you from behind, you feel he’s a man…
Then he flings you so hard your hair bursts into flame in the air.
Slams you onto the back seat like a struck doe
and jumps on you—a true leopard…
No “Excuse me, may I, are you free tonight?” here…
Straight in, with the full force—whoosh…
Punching holes in the sky…
Where are those men… rider-men,
shooting pistols and leaping over chasms?
Where are Zorro, Sandokan… and the Black Tulip?!
A man to look me in the eyes and say: “I want you…”
to grab me and carry me far away…
I look at my peers—
tight pants,
little beers in hand, phones and laughter…
But such laughter—you wonder how their chromosomes are even arranged…
Then came shrieks, convulsions, spasms…
Girls passed by—beautiful—right beside them.
The two of them didn’t even turn their heads…
They even seemed to hug tenderly… friendly…
I tried to imagine what would happen
if such a man told me: “I love you!”…
Is he even capable of loving anyone but himself?
How could I believe him?.. How?..
They don’t read books,
they stare stupidly into mirrors, shave their chests, drag their feet…
Money, cars, and laughing gas fill their mouths…
How could I embrace such a boy, how could I kiss him,
how could I bear his child, how could I give him my life…
What could I live through with him…
how could I sing him a poem like this:
I want to be a free bird,
bold, strong, inconsolable.
To soar through the sky—
up high, to meet you there.
To tear this robe apart,
naked to merge with you,
to pierce the heavens,
for you to ride me without bridle,
without stirrup.
Our burning moans
to swell the cosmos.
And the earth to gape,
to be heard in vain.
How in my pure womb
you exploded and faded.
In the evening languor
with you I fused forever.
Monologue of Veneta,
