Hrvoje Pejakovic

Different, as simple as that

Different, as simple as that:
your sister speechlessness
points a gentle knife blade at your skin
while you are tying in vain to pull the strings of the sunset
(similar to
        - a fish on a sand-bank?
        - a rusty wind?
        - the focal point of solitude?)  

Drugacije, jednostavno:

Drugacije, jednostavno:

Drugacije, jednostavno:
tvoja sestra sutnja
prislanja ti njeznu ostricu uz kozu
dok uzalud se trudis pohvatati konce sutona
(slican
        - ribi na suhom?
        - zahrdjalom vjetru?
        - sredistu samoce?
