Bursting sensation in the mist

Keko Prijatelj

Burning of horror of epiphany

How mystical one looks

The distance

On that path I am a cricket

Positioned on that handsome tree

Expecting to burst of self-annoyance

Oh mystical city of Split

Air of the wings

Who ask who

Who are the earthworms bathing

In the sweat of the sky

Give that lamp a tree!

Standing nude bright it mocks everything in sight

Disperse

Oh tree

You two make such a mythical pair

If I were a cricket positioned on your branch...
