English poem
Things Seen In A Battle
by Edward Powys Mathers (1892–1939)
Clear diamond heart, I have been hunting death Among the swords. But death abhors my shadow, And I come back Wounded with memories. Your eyes, For steel is amorous of steel And there are bright blue sparks. Your lips, I see great bloody roses Cut in white dead breasts. Your bed, For I see wrestling bodies Under the evening star. From the Turkic.
