Here is a poem for you, just so that your homepage wldn't keep on being the same and as a little reminder of that one day in Prague....

I HAD TWO BEERS AT THE “LITTLE GREEN TREE”...
at once feeling better, all seems quite real to me
the mirage of the Castle is particularly tenable today
across the Charles Bridge, only the stars know where to, I stumble on my way.

I closed my eyes counting to ten
all, even the semblance of the Little Quarter roofs, fizzled out by then
and the bridge shrank into a single thread in a magnified net
chasm all around, banks nowhere to be met

J. Krchovsky


PS: Not exactly what I wanted but it's nearly impossible to find Czech poetry translated into English online
