I awaken to love you
I awaken
To gaze into the blue
To spin in a dizzying circle
Where I lose myself
Perhaps?
I awaken
Because of promises
Which cannot be broken.
I awaken
Because of your footsteps
I hear them
I know you are coming
Because my palms
Are sweating
At the thought.
I awaken with a song, with your voice
Afraid that
I might put you to sleep
I awaken to love you.
Translated by Veronika Bauer
Be the bird
For Branko Miljkovic
With your own rocks and the black soil,
the pile will sing out before you.
Be the bird, and fly, all over the world.
There are many places, to ignite your fire.
Translated by Darko Kotevski
Should be believed
(From the collection I LOVE MARIA TOO)
I approach the wellspring,
I repent,
I say it outloud,
And leave the water to take it away.
I step out from the circle,
And I’m still inside of it.
They measured me up,
And marked me out like the land.
And the world will
One day disappear.
Translated by Darko Kotevski
Me, the poet and the hunter
Tomorrow burns in flames
In slippers we put the fire out:
Me, the poet and the hunter,
At service of humans and animals.
Fire is the essential part of life,
You could hear it after the disaster.
We had to go further:
To the forests,
To the clouds,
To the dream.
Translated by Darko Kotevski
