Complexita
Aco complexita und fay ou les touru?
Purh tu ecked tamo tur explicimor?
Und sourus commdaj quis apatu
Okla whas gul forc lamoriur?
Yos wha frey surl hokkdae retablo,
Ui deji lon karharlom ett jadi,
Complexita, fui tous und arbrerko...
Complexita, cambre ip las erexi?
Aco complexita und vraj cor les gambipare
Tawoo und tarwoo misa hy cet constikrey?
Zaw le gui wond brey exlo ruv ka solamare,
Tihlokaphu, ubda lac und frey, treg ossey...
Qi fuddroba und swi bonju purj lar bokdat?
Qi, sar heu barjda, whu jabvov konsoliprus...
Complexita, fui enco und jufro vi derkoubat,
Complexita, cambre und temos judbon frus?
Aco complexita transposa Angley puis ov neu?
So be it, then in English, while calm mind allows...
Complexita it need not be, if it would please you,
Such that there finds no need for furrowed brows.
Let tongue be free from such awkward thoughts,
That else would be forced to mingle on the page,
To stretch forth as gemstones, not smoky quartz,
But grant clear meaning at this forward stage...
Perhaps, this day will change the mind itself,
To pour out words like finest sparkling wines,
Fresh from the dusty smoky bottles on the shelf,
Anointing white and bleak unblemished lines.
And if this English brings no solemn compromise,
Let it be the vessel that bears such themes again,
Else rhyme whatever works and gently ties
The message meant for human hearts to ken...
Excelsior, complexita... no more!
