" "there were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
suitcases checked and standing side by side.
one night, perhaps, the same dream
grown hazy by morning.
every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.

Prva ljubav
Kažu,
da je prva ljubav najvažnija.
Veoma romantično,
ali ne u mom slučaju.
Nešto je među nama bilo, i nije bilo,
dogodilo se i zagubilo.
Ne drhte mi ruke,
kad naiđem na sitne uspomene
i svežanj pisama povezan kanapčićem
- iako bi bilo bolje da je mašnicom.
Naš jedini susret, posle mnogo godina,
bio je razgovor dveju stolica
za hladnim stočićem.
Druge ljubavi,
sve dosad, duboko dišu u meni.
Ovoj nedostaje dah da bi uzdahnula.
Međutim, upravo takva kakva je,
uspeva, što ostalim još uvek, ne uspeva:
da me neupamćena,
čak nesanjana,
miri sa smrću.
