SQUARE-ANGLE – Zoltán Zelk

SQUARE-ANGLE – Zoltán Zelk

The earth tilted, borders are being drawn in sharp angles by black ink, the purple shade of a scarf, perhaps, on top of the strict lines. If above me, if below, like an island in the sky. I live here. Budapest.
A series by Ferenc Forrai.

Zoltán Zelk was born 113 years ago, on December 18, 1906.

VILLAMOSON

„Dülöng az üvegéjszakában
a sárga villamoskocsi,
verik, horzsolják az útszéli
fákat szélszárnyai.
Heten gubbasztunk benn, heten,
a kalauz a perronon
már vacsoráról álmodik
s mereng egy csillagon.

(…)

Dülöng, dülöng a koraéjben
a sárga villamoskocsi,
vágyón utána néznek a
házak ablakai.
Kutyák ugatnak s ráfelelnek
vonitva a vaskerekek,
mint örök futásra kárhozott,
panaszkodó ebek.

Végállomás. Itt lakom én, hol
földszag és füst keveredik
s mezők harapdálják csipkésre
a város széleit.
Megyek. Nyomomban vastag por száll
s a csorba, bús vidék felett
szegények rozsdás sóhajait
csörgetik a szelek.”

SQUARE-ANGLE
Square-angle is a symbol of togetherness. The belonging and identity of nations is presented by the unique code system of the series formed by forms and colors through the literature of the Visegrad countries. Citizens, four times: Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest. Four cities, four colors, one section. Making four cities of four countries four-angled, a common conglomerate.

The latest parts of Square-angle released on HYPEANDHYPER are about Budapest.
