The World Has Been Slumbering


Tired

in the armchair

with headphones in the ears

the world has been slumbering

in front of the screen

dead bodies

can’t you see?


You just keep talking

advertising

and reviling


These people must

be fresh

to get their bread

tomorrow





Load Up Well


Load up well

hungry throat of winter

and don’t be afraid


Memories can be lit

but thumbnails can

never



Translated by Danijela Trajković
