Between The Two Lights/Izmedju Dvije Svjetlosti Poem by Miroslava Odalovic

I appreciate your instant reply
I judge-it's not correct

For the thing shivering in my heart
Will never know for the fall on the knees
Nor will the thing banging in my head
Ever find an echo on my tongue

I laugh because you know
I laugh because you don't know

The bridges are the hands in the air
Beyond the banks which have grown into a canyon
Like words in touch with the trembling

I laugh because you know
Because you know this is what you don't know
Stuck within a comparison
Between the two lights


Cijenim tvoj instant odgovor
Prosuđujem - nije tačan

Jer što mi kleca u srcu
Ne zna za pad na koljena
I što mi puca u glavi
Na jeziku nema eha

Ja se smijem jer ti znaš
Ja se smijem jer ti ne znaš

Mostovi su ruke u vazduhu
Nad obalama što su izrasle u tjesnac
Kao riječi u dosluhu sa strepnjom

Ja se smijem jer ti znaš
Jer ti znaš da to ne znaš
Zaglavljen u poredjenju
Izmedju dvije svjetlosti
