ATTEMP AT THE ROOM

Danijela Zajc

…

​

My friend, look! Like letters in your hand, like

sleep, that dream, I watch you through the opening.

In the first dream - sleeping eyelids, centuries

after - I watch through premonitions, oracles

of the light-world. On these borders - time's

extremities - I am a light-world's eye.

And after? A dream

exists: in tones and shades.

There was - climbing.

There was - bowing

forehead to forehead.

Ahead - your forehead,

brow - a flagrant half-rhyme

in my mouth.
