Excerpts from «Delirium»

«Delirium» includes poetry in English and Hungarian.

Faint-like, Numb Sleep; Out of the Ordinary Dream 


Under the cracked chitin shield the size of many. 
Continents there lies the smoldering pile of landfill. 
On its habitual heavenly route dragging its  
damaged abdomen the overpopulated Earth. 

Faint-like, numb sleep; out of the ordinary dream faint-like, numb sleep; out of the ordinary dream written by a ghostly hand, a mysterious, 
meaningless writing a porcelain urn covered
by dust it summons Baron Samedi, the lord of the cemetery. 

They say, faint-like, numb sleep; 
out of the ordinary dream faint-like, numb sleep; 
out of the ordinary dream because honey grounds 
moisture is crystal clear drinkable source. War, famine, epidemic is unknown, it will outpace each other, mythical unity is created by man, vegetation, also the Earth 

its soul. 

(Translated by Johanna Semsei)

Ájulásszerű, dermedt alvás; szokatlan álom 


A megrepedt kitinpáncél alatt 
földrésznyi szeméttelepek parázslanak. 

Megszokott égi útján 
vonszolja roncsolt potrohát 
az elnéptelenedő Föld. 

Ájulásszerű, dermedt alvás; szokatlan álom. 
Ájulásszerű, dermedt alvás; szokatlan álom, 
szellemkéz-írta rejtélyes ákom-bákom 
porlepte porcelán urnán 

Baron Samedit idézi, a temetők urát. 

Mondják, ájulásszerű, dermedt alvás; szokatlan
álom. Ájulásszerű, dermedt alvás; szokatlan álom, 
hiszen Mézföld iható nedvei kristálytiszták,háború, éhínség, járvány ismeretlen, 
kiegészíti egymást, mitikus egységet alkot itt 
ember, növény, állat, valamint 
a Föld 
lelke.

At night, behind the consuming moon 


Root-sleeved. Spasm 
grimace: seal head branch. 
The ear leaf. 

(Translation)

Éjszaka, fogyó hold fátyla mögül 


Gyökér-ujjú. Görcs 
grimasz: fókafejű ág. 
A fül falevél.

Amazon Book Description

The volume is a representative selection of the Hungarian poet’s oeuvre to date. In English and Hungarian. 103 pages. Laszlo Aranyi (Azmon Frater) is still a neglected and marginalised poet in his own country, where literary thought was stuck in the 19th century. His works are shaped by Sacral Chaos. He invites his readers on an extraordinary adventure into the uncharted, dark depths of the human soul.
And his visual poems explore new possibilities of communication.
