for my par­ents
 

My moth­er pre­ferred
New­man to Red­ford,
Bran­do above all.

No jazz orches­tra in a lit­tle
vil­lage. Slight­ly radioac­tive
I take of my belt, savor­ing
kid’s chocolate.

Gen­er­al mourn­ing is not active
nar­row­ness. Lone­ly women die
far away from home, in shady
Buenos Aires, before
they turn forty, old­er then thirty.

Tremen­dous num­ber of shifts,  
mys­te­ri­ous cir­cum­stances and
my nat­ur­al audac­i­ty pre­vent me
from becom­ing the bride at each
wed­ding and the corps
on every deathbed.

How would it feel to fall in
love with gay, shrink­ing men,
lit­er­al­ly homunculus ?

On the con­trary what would have
hap­pen if the ele­gant Swedish king ,
dressed in his dark suit starts
to wipe my tears, caress­es
my hair, over­whelmed
with adrenalin ?

Only with you I would
replace roles, trade sex­es,
exchange words. Ortho­dox
lob­by should stand calm.

Bet­ter luck next time.

Pic­ture  on the cov­er.
Everybody’s sweet­heart. And
I address Good evening to
my soul.*

Književnost za decu

                                                 Roditeljima

Maj­ka je više volela
Nju­me­na od Red­for­da
Bran­da više od obojice.

Kad malo selo nema
džez orkesta r.  Ski­dam opasač.
Bla­go radioak­tiv­na. Jedem
čoko­ladicu živ­otin­sko
cartsvo.

Opš­ta žalost nije
aktiv­na tesko­ba. Usaml­jene
žene umiru daleko od kuće,
u sen­ovit­om Buenos Ajre­su,
pre četrde­sete godine, star­i­je
od trideset.

Sil­ni obr­ti, mis­te­ri­ozne
okol­nos­ti i prirod­na drskost
sprečava­ju me da budem
neves­ta na svakom venčan­ju
i telo na svakom odru.

Kako bi to bilo
voleti homića, čove­ka
koji se sman­ju­je, buk­val­no
čovečuljka ?

Ili napro­tiv
da mi lepi , šved­s­ki kralj
u tam­nom odelu obriše suze ,
polju­bi ruku, pomilu­je me po kosi
pli­va­jući u adrenalinu ?

 

Samo bih sa tobom
zame­ni­la ulogu, prome­ni­la
pol, izmen­jala reči. Pravoslavni
lobi može biti spokojan.

Više sreće sledeći put.
Fotografi­ja na kori­ca­ma.
Devo­j­ka za sve. Kažem
dobro veče svo­joj duši*.
