Za Džejn

225 dana pod travom
i znaš više od mene.
odavno su ti uzeli svu krv
suva si pritka u korpi.
tako li to biva?
u ovoj sobi
sati ljubavi
još bacaju senke.

Kada si otišla
uzela si gotovo sve.
Klečim u noćima
pred tigrovima
koji me ne puštaju.

to što si bila
neće se ponoviti.
tigrovi su me našli
i nije me briga.

_________


‎225 days under grass
and you know more than I.
they have long taken your blood,
you are a dry stick in a basket.
is this how it works?
in this room
the hours of love
still make shadows.

when you left
you took almost
everything.
I kneel in the nights
before tigers
that will not let me be.

what you were
will not happen again.
the tigers have found me
and I do not care.
