Que fragilidad

To discard wisdom
is wisdom

To discard sense
is sense

To fall flat on your face
is to stand upright

Where are you morning?
In the puddle

Where are you heading darkness?
I’m raining

Who keeps me above
the limit of endurance?
    I’m breathing

Who pulls the nets
of resistance?
    I do not have

Who breaks under
the weight of the wind?
    I’m asleep

To crush light
is brightness

To discard the discarded
is a comeback

To give a smile back to life
post mortem is a miracle
    infinitely larger than a bead of dew
    grander than a grain of salt
    calmer than the torch in your eyes
I live                                                    again
I love                                          once more
I marvel                                          all over

Que fragilidad

Que fragilidad

Zavreči modrost
je modrost

Zavreči pamet
je pamet

Telebniti po tleh
je stati pokonci

Kje si jutro?
V luži

Kam greš tema?
Dežujem

Kdo me vzdržuje
nad mejo zmogljivosti?
    Diham

Kdo napenja mreže
upora?
    Nimam

Kdo se zlomi pod
težo vetra?
    Spim

Zdrobiti luč
je svetloba

Zavreči zavrženo
je vrnitev

Post mortem vrniti nasmeh
življenju je čudež
    neskončno večji od kaplje rose
    veličastnejši od zrna soli
    spokojnejši od bakle v očeh
živim                                   zopet
ljubim                         ponovno
čudim se                              spet
Close
