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
