Mimoza Ahmeti Poems

Wait a moment, the fevers will be singing within me,
Tiny groans will be heard, terribly subtle,
In the heights of the brain, from the holes of the heart...
...

Broken,
sombre,
venomous
...

You are going, you are leaving us,
Thinking it's 'forever.'
Fleeing from this, which is yours, ours,
...

Outside me
The whole world reels in battle and dream.
...

Senses, oh my first victims,
You are open again, you are sucking again, cleansed
You return to life.
...

It would be awful
Waking up the same every morning.
...

You were once blue-coloured. You have grown dark.
Do you not know what this means?
Remember how my ray
Shot into your sky like an arrow.
...

When love is not a means
Wondrous worlds emerge, stars shatter,
Colours vibrate to the sounds of immortality,
...

Are the names of kings, merchants and diplomats
Once again to be imposed on memory?
Oh, this mad history will not succeed in arousing
The slightest feelings among the generations.
...

Oh, eternal and omnipotent silence,
From you I arose, in an endeavour
To return to you.
But, more arduous is the going back...
I was a child at the time,
Now I am grown.
...
