You Screwed Bukowski ~ Zajebala Si Bukovskog Poem by Jankovic Zoran

You screwed Bukowski

I told you humorous and rude
that you screwed up Bukowski,
but I want you to know that I love
all that is hidden in your letters.

I don't always have to hear your voice,
I don't always have to understand what you write.
Poetry is only real when it is
everyone feels in their own way.

What the poet wanted to say would be found
in a textbook of own language
when the poet is not alive.

Zajebala si Bukovskog

Rekao sam ti šaljivo i grubo
da si ti zajebala Bukovskog,
ali želim da znaš da volim
sve što je sakriveno u tvojim slovima.

Ne moram uvijek čuti tvoj glas,
ne moram uvijek ni razumjeti šta pišeš.
Poezija je stvarna tek kad je
svako osjeti na svoj način.

Ono što je htio pjesnik da kaže
pronaći će jednom neko u čitanci
svoga jezika kad pjesnik ne bude živ.
