Phases of the Sun

The sun glued to the window is no more a white-hot ball that defeats the eye. Shrunken to a point of cold that I wipe from the glass.
It stamps its drained reflection on the wall.
After, vanished, sun pollinates the dark. Glimmers from burnt-out cracks.    
Glides with the dark, itself inters itself.

Mijene sunca

Mijene sunca

Sunce zalijepljeno za prozor više nije užarena kugla u koju ne mogu gledati. Smanjeno – samo je hladna točka koju pomičem sa staklom.
Zidom otiskuje svoj oslabljeni odraz.
Poslije, kad ga više nema, sunce naprašuje mrak. Isijava iz dogorjelih pukotina. Klizi s tamom i zatrpava samo sebe.
