Two English poems

The useless dawn finds me in a deserted streetcorner; I have outlived the night.
Nights are proud waves: darkblue topheavy waves laden with all hues of deep spoil, laden with things unlikely and desirable.

Yue chod choda suyatade: eleakhul libri laela chodade pruren vebra ciuga liliy deri, pruren more more kakchu feingawa.
