The pain

and

Instead of my will

Tatjana Debeljački

The pain

I take a nap and IT HURTS,

I fall asleep, wake up

IT HURTS

I think about something else

I feel THE PAIN

I look for myself,

I lie to myself,

I get drunk,

and IT HURTS,

and IT HURTS.

To die in the arms of someone who does not trust you

IT HURTS.

***

Instead of my will

Before the sunrise,

Before the cock-a-doodle-do,

Barking of the dog,

And something else,

While I’m introducing myself,

I’m showing special attention

Laughing at

The double-echoing applause.

By the same sound they are revealing the secret.

Are these the people I used to know ?

Why are they here ?

I accept the boquets

Of withered words.

I don’t have time to dry the greeting,

To tune up the look.

To shake hands.

I’m in a hurry for thirsty Eros

Blisfully absent minded !
