TAKO MALO

Tako malo sam rekao,
Kratki dani.

Kratki dani,
Kratke noći,
Kratke godine.

Tako malo sam rekao,
Ne stigoh.

Moje srce se umorilo
Od ushićenja,
Očajanja,
Gorljivosti,
Nade.

Čeljust levijatana
Zatvarala se u meni.

Nag ležah na obalama
Bezljudnih ostrva.

Povuče me u ponor sa sobom
Beli kit sveta.

I sad ne znam
Šta je bilo istinsko.

(U Berkliju, 1969.)

Consolation

Calm down. Both your sins and your good deeds will be lost in oblivion.

All was taken away from you: white dresses, wings, even existence. Yet I believe you, messengers. There, where the world is turned inside out, a heavy fabric embroidered with stars and beasts, you stroll, inspecting the trustworthy seams.

A true opium of the people is a belief in nothingness after death - the huge solace of thinking that for our betrayals, greed, cowardice, murders we are not going to be judged.
