Beat generation / Bítnici: Charles Bukowski

The flower lover
in the Valkerie Mountains
among the strutting peacocks
I found a flower
as large as my
head
and when I reached in to smell
it
I lost an ear lobe
part of my nose
one eye
and half a pack of
cigarettes.
I came back
the next day
to hack the damned thing
down
but found it so
beautiful I
killed a
peacock
            instead.

Milovník kvetov  
vo Valteire Mountains
som medzi pávmi, čo sa tam promenádovali
objavil kvetinu
veľkú ako moja
hlava
a keď som k nej chcel
privoňať

prišiel som o ušný lalok
kus nosa
jedno oko
a pol balíčka cigariet

na druhý deň
som sa vrátil
aby som rozsekal tú prekliatu
burinu
ale zistil som, že je taká
nádherná, že som
namiesto nej
zabil
páva

















Sex
I am driving down Wilton Avenue
when this girl of about 15
dressed in tight blue jeans
that grip her behind like two hands
steps out in front of my car
I stop to let her cross the street
and as I watch her contours waving
she looks directly through my windshield
at me
with purple eyes
and then blows
out of her mouth
the largest pink globe of
bubble gum
I have ever seen
while I am listening to Beethoven
on the car radio
she enters a small grocery store
and is gone
and I am left with
Ludwig.


Sex
idem vozom po Wilton Avenue
keď mi toto dievča asi tak pätnástka
oblečeá do úzkych dzínsov
ktoré jej zvierajú zadok ako dve ruky
vyjde rovno pred auto
zabrzdím aby mohla prejsť na druhú stranu
a ako tak sledujem jej vlniace sa krivky
ona pozrie cez čelné sklo
fialovými očami priamo
na mňa
a pritom
vyfúkne
z úst
najväčšiu ružovkastú bublinu
akú som kedy videl
zatiaľ čo mne znie z autorádia
Beethowen.
vchádza do malého obchodu s potravinami
a mizne dnu
a ja tu zostávam sám iba s
Ludwigom.

Beat generation / Bítnici: Charles Bukowski


The mockingbird
the mockingbird had been following the cat
all summer
mocking mocking mocking
teasing and cocksure;
the cat crawled under rockers on porches
tail flashing
and said something angry to the mockingbird
which I didn't understand.

yesterday the cat walked calmly up the driveway
with the mockingbird alive in its mouth,
wings fanned, beautiful wings fanned and flopping,
feathers parted like a woman's legs,
and the bird was no longer mocking,
it was asking, it was praying
but the cat
striding down through centuries
would not listen.

I saw it crawl under a yellow car
with the bird
to bargain it to another place.

summer was over.



Drozd
Drozd celé leto prenasledoval
mačku
cek cek cek cek cek cek
otravný a drzý, mačka liezla pod hojdacie kreslá na verandách
šľahala chvostom
a vravela čosi zlostne drozdovi
čo som nerozumel.

včera tá mačka pokojne šla po vozovke
so živým drozdom v zuboch
krídla roztiahnuté, nádherné krídla
roztiahnuté a trepotajúce
pierka od seba ako ženské nohy
a ten vták sa už neposmieval,
prosil, modlikal
ale mačka
prechádala cez stáročia
a nič nepočula
videl som ju zaliezť pod žlté auto
aby si to vybavila
s tým vtákom mimo dohľadu

a bolo po lete.

Maternity fashion: How to sew maternity skirt / Tehotenská móda: Ako si ušiť tehotenskú sukňu

    What to wear when are you pregnant? You need not spend your money for expensive pieces of maternity clothes, it does the trick just a few fashion magazines, skilfulness and your imagination. You must only find patterns of parts of clothes such as skirts and trousers with a seating.
Such as the following:
    Keď ste tehotná a neviete čo na seba, nemusíte utrácať peniaze za drahé kúsky tehotenského oblečenia. Postačia vám časopisy so strihami a vaša šikovnosť. Pohľadajte si strihy jednotlivých odevov (nohavíc alebo sukní) s rozšíreným pásom alebo tzv. sedlom. Túto časť ušite potom z elastickej látky, napríklad z úpletu. Tu je zopár nápadov: 

sukňa so sedlom, skirt with saddle, strih, pattern

                                                   
sukňa so sedlom, skirt with saddle, strih, pattern


sukňa so sedlom, skirt with saddle, strih, pattern

sukňa so sedlom, skirt with saddle, strih, pattern

    These pictures I have chosen from magazine Burda. In the beginning I have tried to sew the simpliest last skirt formed to letter A. 

Here is my outcome:


sukňa so sedlom, skirt with saddle
    This skirt has only two part sewed from suit textile and seating is made from elastic material. So you can wear this skirt almost to the end of pregnancy.

Never let anyone discourage you. Do not let believe nobody, that you are not enough good  to move forward, that you rather prefer staing, where you are. You are unique. Listen to your heart and go your own way, you achieve, what you want. Like wayfarer in the book Alchemist from Paulo Coelho.

Hand made bracelets from cherry stones / Ručne vyrobené náramky z čerešňových kôstok

At first I would you show bracelets made from painted cherry stones.

They are painted with aniline or acrylic colors. To color stay i used mat varnish in spray.
Here are depictured in more shades: from warm colors of autumn throught  turquoise to cold blue and violet.

Náramky sú maľované anilínovými alebo akrylovými farbami. Kvôli trvácnosti farieb som použila matný priesvitný lak v spreji.
