The Best Poem Of Slavica Gadzova

Roads

Too many bags and suitcases
old tickets and some feather of a dove
In which of them should I pack
The map for easier orientation
with instructions for taming the poetic perception
at border crossings
and passport stampings
where should I put
the geopolitical theory of my heart
to head south-northern
with two stamps
one in the passport
and the other on my skin
skin of an animal
waiting to be sacrificed
