Do not try

To stop something inside me or –

Me before!

Your attempts in vain will be, be sure.

Do not block my way,

Do not block the sun or the silver moon,

Leave them open wide and wild… always,

I love open skies,

Otherwise I can either survive or die.

Do not slam your doors, which are very weak indeed,

In my broken face.

I can break them down, I can destroy, explode.

My void your home can smash,

Do not forget: a gigantic ghost I am, dominating your home.

Freedom? Yes. I can find it elsewhere

And almost everywhere… do not worry, Madam!

Do not stop in-between –

I can spring over both like a rubber horse.

Leave your doors, hence, and your breast open for

Nothing stops me or deters me.

Open yourself up and down,

Open up your town and your land,

I am going o cross

The British Channel like Napoleon –

The loser one day;

Like Horatio Nelson, the Marshall and the conqueror –

Another day.

Prepare yourself for the most surprising event:

Germans and Russians your island will invade.

Open the cheating and bleeding heart

(It is a rubbish bin…no more)

To the fresh air –

Totally purified;

Medicine alone is not enough,

Perhaps one physician in addition may

Leave you partly satisfied.

Otherwise a major operation of a heart and head

You may need.

Do you hear me?

Are you okay, my nasty Nurse, auxiliary Nurse?

Do you hear me?

Will you sympathize with a patient or a death?
