On the Way to Japan Ekleksographia:
The muscles were tense to extremes but I never thought of
Wave Two
giving up.
March, 2010
With the strength of an animal, so typical of a desperado, I
clutched the
railing although I was not convinced that the Lord was with Poetry
me. Drops of
On the Way to Japan
sweat were falling down my forehead, stinging my wide
GORD–A–DAN
open eyes, and the
Something Mine
vein on my neck, puffed up like a pipe, was pumping blood
into my head. A
transparent haze was spreading treacherously, and micro Tatjana
stars were twinkling Debeljački
in a cluster, whistling monotonously.
Everything was in colour.
Terrified, I realized that that my fingers were wet and
that the railing was sliding from my helpless hands. I tried
something but without success. The train went on quickly
down the track while I was lying in the mud, defeated.
Tatjana Debeljački,
He was on it.

Something Mine
Tell me how to keep what we have pure
Because, you know, I forgot to tell you,
I destroy whatever I touch,
And I have to tell you,
I like the way you look at me secretly
Thinking that I don't see it
I love to hear you talking
Even to somebody else,
Too loud so that I can hear you even if I'm not around
And when I have gone, probably without any need, to fix my
make–up for a hundredth time,
Because I know your eyes will follow me,
And I have to tell you,
My knees won't listen to me when you're near me,
And I'm really afraid of spoiling this so pure and innocent,
Because you know, I have to tell you,
I destroy whatever I touch,
And that is why I'm begging you,

Tell me how to save us
And how to prevent myself from telling you,
While you're looking at and talking to me,
"Hold me and kiss me"
Fearing that I will ruin everything.
