Bravery

A friend of mine asked me a favour to translate a poem written in Hungarian by one of her friends. I do not usually translate poems, apart from those I write - this request found me by surprise.

The title is Bravery - as is my action. Your comments are welcomed.

Bravery

Definitions are lost.
My love, this is where we are -
Nothingness.
Poles and meat hooks.
Frozen kids emerging from stained loops.

To my table, you are invited,
see - I have no manners.
My head is turned
away with the shrubs upon your plate
no one is supposed to
order.

Come, come into the woods,
let the rain wash us through the dirt
A stillness waits where
hedgehogs rush
from swamps -
and no questions are needed

Pick any day - March 3rd

a writing contest at 6S

I'm a fairly regular reader of the six-sentences page. For those not familiar with the site, all pieces contain six sentences: not much, not less, but six. As far as I gathered, contributors vary from acknowledged authors to basically anyone interested in adding his/her own six.
Every once in a while they have a contest anyone can enter.
This time the task is to finish a piece that already contains five sentences.
It is available HERE - your have to watch the video, where the first five sentences are written and then you can complete the piece by adding your sixth sentence in the commenting section. All the entries are up and their number keeps increasing at an alarming rate.
Some of them are brilliant, some fun, some are really thought provoking.
I prefer the ones that keep the style of the original sentences.
Have a nice reading!

between two computers

There is a Hungarian proverb that literally refers to one having to sit on the ground between two seats. It actually means that one has two opportunities but is unable to take either so must live through the situation without any of them.
-
We used to have two computers in our small room, office if you will.
Need I say more?
One of them is broken (aka blue death). The service said it was the ventillator but it turned out the whatever-it's-called-an important-whatever is also broken. We have to wait until someone offers one of his whatever for sale so the shop can fix that something into our PC.
-
The second one had no email, internet access, DVD-player, sound on it. I started to install these accessories, when it turned out that the whole system needs reinstalling.

I'm typing this from the computer as it is up and running, but as for tomorrow...?
-
I also wrote a post about first writers' meeting on my other blog, like anyone cares...Well, I do, as this is an important step in my publicly admitting the importance of writing in my life. We were given quite a load of homework!
-
Also, I do not feel very well.
