A whisper like the cut of destiny Bleeds on the glass Of peeled words. You tell the reality preparing Modigliani’s revenge in secret. - Like a stone, Like a leaf, Cheating is simple. ( But, on whom do you think you cheat?) On our fingertips, All of us wait for the bullet Coated with the lipstick kiss Of karma, the unscrupulous widow. In General I have seen some paintings In which Death holds the reins Nails scratch the glass An angel letting balloons toward the sky Pinocchio decaying A crow squatting on some boy’s shoulder The hand of art veiled in black A skeleton swimming in the eye Money closing mouths I saw the painting in which your head Was dimming above the water While you were standing And urinating The blood was running through the pipe And the urine was running through the pipe In order to reach your imagined unattainability Translated by Danijela Trajković
