We Sleep Among the Dead
Two beautifully ruined minds.
We found each other in our insanity
***
Perhaps our hearts destroyed by madness
connected through the pain of the past
***
Perhaps the self-destructive nature of seeking submission and dominance
pushed us closer together
like two magnets polarising in dark nights
ruled by creatures of seduction
each day of a miserable existence
***
Perhaps it was our past
that predestined the future of misery and eternity
in our harmed bodies
the pathetic arm of brutality
leaving deep scars on the soul and skin
***
Was our intimacy paid in the wrong currency?
Was the language of our vulnerable souls lost in translation?
Two beautifully ruined minds

Thanks That We Can
This poem was written for the 17th of November 2019, celebration of 30 years from the Velvet Revolution, the most important day in Czech and Slovak history. Thanks to all participants in this uprising in 1989, including my mother. Without you, our country would still be occupied, unfree, unhappy. THANKS THAT WE CAN.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

RunPee App
I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
