Oko
Oko I u neostvarenom živi namera:
Da budem jači, što me manje ima;
A nedremano oko-kamera
Svaki moj mikroporaz čitko snima.
Plava optika nedremanog oka
Snimiće tako i kako se menja
Oblik mog srca, damar krvotoka
U svakom času tvoga nerođenja
Što ponavlja se ušestostručeno:
Krik pod visokim svodovima, ali
Nečujan u svemu izvan ovog sluha -
Osim što kruži po toj katedrali,
Po zavojima nedremanog uha:
Ko uholaža božja, bezvremeno.
Eye
And in the unrealised there lives intent:
To be stronger, the less of me there is;
While the sleepy eye-camera records
Each and every micro-defeat.
The blue optics of the sleepy eye
Will record and capture the changes
In the shape of my heart, and my blood stream
In every moment of your non-birth
Which repeats itself six times over:
A cry beneath the high vault, but
Unheard in everything beyond this sense –
Aside from circling about that cathedral,
About the bandaged sleepy ear:
Like God’s earwig, timeless.
