1. Alcohol
I conjure up the impossible,
a house stands on it and a bush,
a silent, silent creature and a
trouser leg in falling darkness.
2. In memoriam F. M. Dostoevsky
Bend down. (Bends to the ground.)
Stand erect. (Rises slowly up.)
Take off your shirt and underpants
(Takes them off one by one.)
Turn and face me
(Turns away. Faces him.)
Put on your clothes.
(Puts them back on.)
3. Hölderlin
December's fervour, summer's flailing hailstorm
wild bird encumbered with clogs
this and more I've been. Willingly I die.
Translated by T. László András
The work is the transcription of the first three songs of Four Songs to Poems by János Pilinszky, op. 11.
