RIBA

Zijevajući kao riba

udišući dah koji bolno reže pluća

borim se da progovorim

poslije dugih godina jezika životinja

jezikom ljudskim

Donosiš mi rječnike u zlatnom uvezu

sa slikama u boji

Učiš me riječ po riječ

smislu

ogromnog skladišta podataka

sive kore

Danas znam što je riječ

ljubav

dugo tražena:

to je ono što mi je stvaralo bol

svojim izostankom

Životinje griješe,

ljudi pak žive puninom

kolektivnim zovom Bogu

Prazan bijah lažima otrovanom savješću

Ti me napuni (ispraznivši užas)

srećom jednom izgubljenog Raja

Ti si beskrajna i tajanstvena

kao planeta Zemlja

u svom bogatom reljefu

Ogrnula si me sobom i zaštitila

šireći širom krila plavetnilom

Nema uzmaka

Samo skok u plavu dubinu

nam preostaje

Izmiče nam tlo pod nogama

i padamo u dubinu

kroz rasjed u zemlji nastao zemljotresom

u nedirnute i sigurne slojeve litosfere

ravno do rastopljene Gejine jezgre

Postajemo magma

više nismo ti i ja

Sad smo svi i sve

svi i sva

Isus nas zaista voli!

I’m gaping like a fish

breathing in a breath that painfully cuts my lungs

fighting to begin to speak

after long years of animal language

the language of humans

 

You are bringing me dictionaries in golden binding

with pictures in colour

You are teaching me word by word

the meaning

of huge storehouse of data

of the grey matter

 

Today I know what the word

love is

I’ve hunted out for a long time:

that is it what was causing me pain

by its absence

 

Some people sin,

but we however live fully

by calling Father together

 

Empty I have been, lies poisoned my conscience

You have filled me (by vacating terror)

with the happiness of Paradise once lost

 

You are endless and mysterious

like the planet Earth

in its rich relief

 

You have cloaked me with yourself and protected me

by expanding widely your wings trough the blueness

No retreat

Only the jump into the blue depth

is  all we have left

 

We are losing grip with the soil beneath our feet

and we’re falling into the depth

trough the scissure in the ground made by earthquake

into the untouched and safe layers of lithosphere

right to the molten Earth-core

 

We are becoming magma

we are no longer you and me

Now we’re all and everything

 

Jesus really loves us!
