TIME
Time
And how it slips through my fingers
Without putting its ring on them,
And I remain simply its lover

Only with a leaf
can I talk of the forest,
The forest has shrunk
And fear has expanded,
The forests have dwindled,
There are less animals now,
less courage and less lightning,
less beauty
and the moon lies bare,
deflowered by force and
then abandoned.

Could it be that the planets are castaway heads.
Visar ZhitiLet them shoot us in the head,
My blood will grow roots
and will blossom.

BLOODY LIPS
The bloody wound
Of the gladiator
Gurgles out life's end.
The cries of acclimations from the stands
Fill the sky with raging tigers.
Waving their arms about to incite the masses
The aging notables add an air of dignity to the arena.
Making their separate entries

over the still-warm corpses
Of the young. Their withered lips they pose
Upon the fresh flowing wounds
And, to prolong their lives – so they believe,
Suck, ravenously suck out the blood, blood, blood.
Fresh blood from the sun
Flowing into filthy veins
As into sewage pipes,
And thus the Heart of the Nation is abandoned.

SECOND SUN
So much blood
Has been spent in this world,
But we have not yet built a sun of blood.
Listen, my friend,
To these trembling words:
A second sun will be born
of our blood
in the form of a heart.

SOWING LIGHTNING
Seize
Bolts of lightning from the sky
And plant them in fields of life.
They will grow like tender sprouts of fire.
Charge somber thoughts
With unexpected flash,
You, my lightning in the soil!

IN OUR CELLS
They keep us in our cells
For a long time...
And, if we get out,
We lug them with us on our shoulders,
Like a porter with a chest of goods.
When will the death
Of Death ever come?
