Scorpios are Bad for Your Health

I have ruined
                              all of my clouds 
   for the corpse yelllow-
                         yarrowed thunder
        
           of hope

                         because 

                nobody loves 
like an idiot 
                        who does not know 
it is better                 not to

Skorpiony są szkodliwe dla zdrowia

zniszczyłem wszystkie 
                                    moje chmury          
      dla trupa żółto krwawnikowy    
             grzmotu  nadzieji 

                            przecież 

                            nikt nie kocha 
jak idiota,
                    który nie wie,
że jest lepiej    
             żeby nikogo nie kochać
