Wasted Poem ~ Uzaludna Pjesma Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Wasted poem

I'll find you in every letter.
I'll recognize you in a sea of words
after every cutest crikle in the verse,
after every false mop in the stanza,
by fictional scars in the poem
that you write in vain.

The poem must be written from the heart.
It is not a performance
for those who falsely love.

Uzaludna pjesma

U svakom slovu ću te naći.
Prepoznaću te u moru riječi
po svakoj slatkoj bori u stihu,
po svakoj lažnoj grimasi u strofi,
po izmišljenim ožiljcima
u pjesmama koje uzalud pišeš.

Pjesma se mora pisati iz srca.
Ona nije performans
za one koji lažno vole.
