A SWISH OF GLITTERING creatures in

A SWISH OF GLITTERING creatures in
the air: a school of fish, a flock of birds, a swarm of flies –

they deprive me of heaviness of walking,
they deprive me of compulsion of breathing.

Have you seen them?
You know, you just open the window and, if you’re lucky enough,

you’ll see them. No,
I haven’t seen anything.

Did you open the window? Yes.
Well, you do have the window? Yes.

How come you haven’t
seen them? Are you

blind? No. Are you
happy? No, I can

not answer this. You can
not answer this? Yes.

A SWISH OF GLITTERING creatures in

KROZ ZRAK ŠIŠTE svjetlucava
bića: plova riba, jato ptica, roj mušica –

otkidaju me od težine hodanja,
otkidaju me od prisile disanja.

Jesi li ih vidio?
Znaš, otvoriš li prozor i, ako si sretan,

ugledat ćeš ih. Ne,
ništa nisam vidio.

Jesi li otvorio prozor? Jesam.
Znači, prozor imaš. Da.

Pa kako ih onda nisi
vidio. Jesi

li slijep? Nisam. Jesi
li sretan? Ne

mogu odgovoriti. Ne
možeš odgovoriti? Da.
