Leaning on its shadow

Translated by: Elizabeta Bakovska

/11 p. 1

Ante Popovski

* * * (There it is below, between two coasts)
The Preacher
Oh, Cavafy
Tohu va bohu 2
Two Silences
* * * (Just a while longer and I shall return home)
Nothing and Nobody
Everybody Is Alone
When You Are Far
* * * (In the space between two words)
He Went to Bed with the Word

_______________________________________________________________________

* * * (There it is below, between two coasts)

There it is below, between two coasts,
in the silence between two words,
the warm seed of its own language,
leaning on its shadow it waits for nothing and – nobody.
