Miroslava Odalovic Poems

Since there are actually two nights and I want to preserve only one
or perhaps you'd like to take the three of mine for the two of yours
whatever, therefore, since this is the way things are
I humbly beseech to be told
...

Now I will bathe my body in foam
breathe in all white water perfumes
rinse the surface of golden tides
sweet scented oils rub in skin deep
...

travelled the tracks
star wars and peace
galaxies frozen in a syndrome of dust
post modernly drawn
...

life be kind on you
your love be fulfilled
your dreams come true
your glasses filled with joy
...

a leaf lying below its tree
a hat forgotten on a table
a half eaten lunch
a sentence unfinished
...

'after dark'
in a state of wake

the tune never sang
...

Jovana smile a smile
the river flows
the river is deep
the drops are the pearls of the sounds
...

Rise like a leaf tossed aside forlorn
rise-like do split the light from darkness wide
rise like a leaf fallen from the ground
tenderly softly with no feet to touch
...

a trapeze artist swaying through the air
the sound of the hands clapping
and footsteps gone astray
for an artist tied to the navel made of light
...

I've pushed the borders
I left the stations
The trains are equally sad
The passengers equally busy
...
