I blinked and missed it

the present

became the past

alley drinkers

veterans of different wars share

the same bottle

the changing waves

of sky, sea, and shell

universes come into existence

then collapse

never

a moment of rest

all night

alone in this room

with a mosquito

leaf fall losing another reason to stay

between waves the piper’s tiny cry

arctic blast day two

agoraphobia mixed

with cabin fever

I take out the trash

& look up to see the moon

seems full but it’s not

halfway thru winter

the young man across the hall

lets his front door slam

underground rumbles ...

on the cracked pavements

deserted vehicles

evening

river of cars

flows slowly

winter evening

winds whisper a song

of the frost

and this March

is a prisoner

war madness —

in the gardens

only ashes

i ovaj ožujak

je zarobljenik

  ratnog ludila

u vrtovima

samo pepeo

Spring

on a meadow

of my childhood

a bouquet of daisies

for mom

proljeće

na livadi

mojeg djetinjstva —

buket tratinčica

za mamu

flashing lights

on the wet road

a soul lost

At night

A firefly with its light..

My thoughts

Very often get the address

To send a letter to my inertia.

never reached

lying on my back

watching the sky
