As sharp as swords...

It's a heavy night. Almost as heavy as the machines I feel falling on my weak body. In this dump that is a dead industrial city in a deranged and forgotten world, our Danube is so saturated it can't wash away our sins anymore. A stagnant remote land of loneliness, pain and tiredness...where saints lie on crucifixes made of words as sharp as swords. Our toxic red night sky is proof enough that blood is spilled here every day. The blood of the innocent, the blood of fallen angels that took this path to save us, only to find their sacrifice was for nothing. For they have come too late. It was too late since the beginning...this world is asymmetric.  Created by two gods that decided it would be fun to play this game. We mash up, and crumble one against each other, with no one to pick up the pieces and put them back together. We are mirrors...endless in numbers. With nothing to reflect but ourselves. And this machine is crushing my bones and spirit every night. Every day. Every moment of every hour. And the thing about machines is...they do not stop. They are not impressed by cries, or threats, by morals or guns. You can ask nicely, but they will ignore. They do what they must do, without remorse or question. Unstoppable. Rain falls, and it feels like acid. The wind is cold and there are no lights to guide me. Only the red sky...proof that we shot our saints. Soon...white pieces of frozen feathers will fall, for we have destroyed our angels too. We call them snowflakes. What an innocent word. But sharp...as a sword.

Festivalul Axis Libri

Festivalul Axis Libri s-a desfasurat ca pe roate, daca nu punem la socoteala decalajele datorate ploii.
Totusi, ultimele trei zile vremea a fost numai buna pentru lecturari in aer liber.
Am avut ocazia sa fiu ascultata de "greii greilor" in ceea ce priveste literatura, iar aplauzele lor mi-au mers la suflet. Am strans mana unor personalitati culturale, multumita sponsorului meu : domnul Valentin Ajder, manager al editurii Eikon.
Este destul de usor sa castigi aprecierea publicului tanar, dar nu m-am asteptat sa castig aprecierea "veteranilor".
Filmarea de la eveniment o gasiti mai jos. Din pacate, am ramas fara baterie la jumatatea prezentarii, dar veti putea gasi in mod sigur poze sau alte articole pe plaiurile nemarginitului si mult apreciatului internet.
Cu aceasta ocazie, din "stashul" de materiale proprii am lecturat lucrarea: Despre elfi(o gasiti pe blog), care din pacate nu se afla saracuta in filmare din motivul anterior mentionat.
Ce altceva mai pot spune in afara de...vizionare placuta!
(da, eu sunt cea cu parul mov)

Axis Libri

Axis Libri is a festival dedicated to literature in the small town I currently live in.
My editor invited me to hold a speech and read a bit of my work so far.
The event is going to take place between 22-26 this month.
All my readers are welcome :) for those of you who won't be able to make it but are interested, the event will be taped and I will post my part of the footage.
Also, I don't want to get your hopes up, but there might be an exhibition of my drawings and paintings this summer. I repeat: might be!
As soon as everything will be cleared out, I will let you know.
'Till next time, enjoy my stories, and wish me luck if you will ;)

La stiri...din nou

Se pare ca ma iubeste presa... iata alta poezie care a ajuns la stiri : http://www.stiri-azi.ro/ziare/articol/articol/ti-am-ranjit-de-sub-tramvai--de-elise-bast/sumar-articol/76270738/

Pentru cei ce nu se obosesc sa mai dea clic, am postat mai jos poemul cu pricina XD

 Intr-o noapte lina , clara
 In Galatiul imputit,
Gumpele in vant zburara
Descantand un parvenit.
Intr-o noapte lina , rece
Ma plimbam eu cu Mihai.
Inca nu batuse ceasul zece
Si tu deja te neprai.
Si mergeai asa pe strada,
Ca de Parkinson trasnit.
Ma priveai ca pe o prada
Cand in drum ne-am intalnit.
M-ai impins urat si tare-
Rupt in gura ce erai,
Si s-a-ntamplat o aratare...
Ti-am ranjit de sub tramvai!
