Attila Jozsef: Without Hope

I am as one who comes to rest

by that sad, sandy, sodden shore

and looks around, and undistressed

nods his wise head, and hopes no more.

Just so I try to turn my gaze

with no deceptions, carelessly.

A silver axe-swish lightly plays

on the white leaf of the poplar tree.

Upon a branch of nothingness

my heart sits trembling voicelessly,

and watching, watching, numberless,

the mild stars gather round to see.

In heaven’s ironblue vault …

In heaven’s ironblue vault revolves

a cool and lacquered dynamo.

The word sparks in my teeth, resolves

- oh, noiseless constellations! - so -

In me the past falls like a stone

through space as voiceless as the air.

Time, silent, blue, drifts off alone.

The swordblade glitters; and my hair -

My moustache, a fat chrysalis,

tastes on my mouth of transience.

My heart aches, words cool out to this.

To whom, though, might their sound make sense?
