CAROLINE CARVER

Swordfish

he tunnels through water his beak is aflame
he has lighted the torches of flame and desire

he moves with the speed of new-fired torpedoes
looking for enemies looking for wives his Name is Danger

he is chainsaw man, hoodie man burker, berserker
naked, unstoppable suicide bomber

nose flattened-on-one-side
teeth at the ready his Name is No Mercy

the hull of the boat is shopping-mall tempting
built like an enemy built like a warrior

his sword drives through planks
like a battering lamp post his Name is Rights of Encounter

he cannot go forward he cannot withdraw
he must worry his weapon

till his chainsaw nose splinters in a road rage of timber
a swagger of blood ... his Name is Wormwood and Shipwreck and Gall.

Caroline Carver

Peste-spada

Creeaza pasaje subacvatice, cu sulita-i in flacari
A aprins tortele pasiunii si dorintei

Se misca cu viteza unor torpile abia lansate
uitandu-se dupa dusmani, uitandu-se dupa neveste Numele lui e Pericol

Este omul-fierastrau, omul-corb nerod, atacator
Un bombardier sinucigas veritabil, de neoprit

Fosa nazala turtita pe-o parte
Dinti la îndemana Numele lui e Fara Mila

Carena navei e tentanta, asemenea unui magazin de cumparaturi
Construit ca un dusman construit ca un luptator

Sabia lui patrunde printre scanduri
Precum lumina unui felinar Numele lui e Dreptul Confruntarii

Nu poate merge inainte, nu se poate retrage
Trebuie sa-si foloseasca cu dibacie arma

Pana cand nasu-i fierastrau despica furios in aschii dusmanul,
Scaldandu-l in sange Numele lui e Amaraciune si Ruina si Necaz.
