Miroslav Mićanović Poems

She stayed up(stairs).
He went down(stairs) with friends to the table.
She only called briefly
with a message to tell him that she was leaving.

I told him: the dark from emilia's eyes will devour you

I get up at 5
and am in bed before
that number.

a man sits in the winter garden
of australia and eats oranges. in
an hour the heat will set in.
fish in the swimming pool. a boy
...

train goes. train goes. train goes. train goes. on
an edge of a field where a man makes love to three
women. train goes. train goes. train
...

I only know that on the place at which
you entered naked into the empty
room and said it was not good
...

a man enters the vineyard,
sits and weeps at the edge of the island,
where God no longer awaits the stars
to reveal himself to the sea,

Ferries in transport have a right to time, to slowness that can surpass eternity, which means that their trajectory is probably part of the port's or captain's plan.

I'm reading how somebody dark is rowing in a poem by a Norwegian writer and
despite their own misunderstanding of verses and well-known scenes I see and
listen to that rower from the poem all night.

Čuju se već od mosta
gdje su prešli rijeku
i idu od kuće do
kuće.

Udaraju u bubanj i
potežu u lance vezanog
medvjeda.

Zovu domaće da izađu
iz dvorišta i vide ga
kako pleše.

Drvenom motkom
okovanom u željezo
udaraju ga u njušku.

Uzbuđenje i užas,
strah i radoznalost veći su
od mrtvila u njegovu
oku.

Golemi, ofucani medvjed,
poslije plesa, leži u prašini
blizu mrkog gospodara
koji je odložio alat iz ruku,
svađa se i traži obećani
novac.

Poslije je sve ljeto, dosada,
komarci i trag njihova puta
od kuće do kuće.
