Ivan explores a subversive, anti-romantic devotion through striking synaesthesia, featured on DifferentTruths.com.
Anti-poet, victim of my anti-poetry,
All I could do is dedicate to you an anti-promise of love,
my anti-promise of love would have the features of a synaesthesia.
the Stalinist hardness of steel and the softness of colour,
the finesse of friendship and the consistency of love,
your white eyes turn me into a hydrophobic cynic,
and there's no doctor for rage, my love.
An anti-promise of love to be read before a registrar,
as to convince a techno-trivial world,
I've loved you since June 1976, perhaps, in truth, since April.
I was an embryo, and you were still immersed in the aurora borealis
for six years you would have been an angel, a ghost, the inessential of a fractal,
without batting an eyelid waiting for you, six years, thirty-six years, with nothing to say,
the sheep of Panurge's contemporaries would condemn me to total silence.
You are my anti-promise of love, and the idea may seem imperceptible to you,
I observe your sleeping, serene, like a crumb abandoned in a toaster,
the love I am stripped of the role of 'sapper' – it is abyssal, like a submarine,
condemned to scatter torpedoes under the (false) guise of a dogfish.
