Miroslava Odalovic Poems

Mark is sponsoring my friends' requests
Dan is teaching me how to write
A master pray-holder will pray for me
Avon takes care of my body
...

...And that at the twilight of speech
It was the silent word that knows
The miracle of life is fed on bread crumbs
In an empty space in the thinner air
...

Where the time hangs on the thread
The thread of eternity is falling apart
And it’s all lost
In the titanic smile with the right of way
...

to words just spread
like hands like air like love of a friend
beyond the reach of silences - it hurts
beyond the water into songs - it flirts
...

When nothing was dawn any longer
There remained only the allegory of the sun
To voicelessly freeze on its own beam
Shine shine...in despair
...

Гдје станује гдје се множи
И гдје ствара смирај
Снагом усне гдје прориче
Вјечну мијену свега
...

Мјери трен у коме крошња жели да буде
Тек зелена свјетлост што жилама коријењем
Листом и груменом земље помно премјерава људе
Кад усамљен на врху свог клатна
...

You place the words then you remove the words
You place you remove
List them wipe them
Move them measure them
...

spirit brain surplus won through evolution
mind thin material of excessive strength
creation surplus of intelligence that no one really needs
in terms of survival life revival or death denial
...

my sisters stood in light
my brothers ate in peace
ancestors' paths descendants' plight
all merged into a single piece
...
