Hooks whisper hymns in the dark,
Pleasure sharpened into art.
A puzzle opens, heaven splits—
Silk and steel on willing lips.
Pain blooms like a crimson rose…
Paradise is where the blade goes.

The box turns once.
The air remembers pain.
Chains whisper sermons
no heaven would dare speak.
We came seeking pleasure—
and found eternity
waiting
with hooks.

Cada noche lloraba en el filo del bosque.
Nadie parecía escucharla.
Hasta que alguien decidió acercarse.

One of many English translations of the first poem in Gottfried Benn’s groundbreaking MORGUE chapbook of 1912.
My own translation of Benn’s “Kleine Aster”—and further thoughts on Benn—can be found on my Dammerung Substack here:

Fratelli e sorelle. Oggi vi condurrò in un luogo dove riposa tutto il sapere, che in molti tendono a ignorare. Un sapere che merita di essere conosciuto. Vi condurrò nella bocca dell’inferno.

I carved devotion
from the language of frost—
breath turning to ice
before it could warm.
I worshiped your absence
like snow worships silence—
cold and unyielding
even after the dawn.

A quiet piece of Victorian gothic horror.
Not meant to shock —
meant to linger.
Some verses are better read in the dark.

My third collection of poetry, THE FUNERAL COLONY, came out in July.
I’m proud of it. It took a long time to write, revise, worry over, rewrite, etc. (SOOO many times!) You can buy it at oliversheppard-dot-com.
FUNERAL COLONY can be bought on Amazon—and elsewhere!
