Slobodan Skerovic: Pesme

i n d i g o

1.

you descend quietly, you bluest

blue, you march, for

better is earth than dust

of bones and blood,

stronger is strength than fear

buried into night,

better is air dry than

humid soul, which wails in

dark, which begs

which cries

 

the storm twirls from east

sharp and red, aurora

whips and wounds, illuminates

somber cloud, illuminates relentlessly

the sound of faggoto, saxophone

the smell of smoke, of heavy oil

black opium

 

it dresses you blue

permeates and tears, while you inhale

the sand of pain and from lungs

you cough those crispy flakes

of humanity

while becoming blue lightning of rage,

the mane of whips, of scars and blades

while you kill, stroll,

squeeze, drink dehydrated blood

 

indigo is your paint, bluest,

vein, skin and dress

your ruby glows,

you are stormy in the depth

you blackeyed, heavy metal

resin, sweat

 

you cloak yourself with amalgam,

your arms so strong from heaviness

remember dead avatars,

your bosom is smooth

bronze, through veil you see the knoll

you anticipate and aim,

the tip of dagger,

that final stroke at you, the brilliance

to crush

 

while you thrust in the claws, deeper

elastic uterus, glittering

like salpas, salty, flimsy, under pressure

sags, you pull out light

pearl, black marrow,

 

you are alive because the earth

because the night, because your will

because your glance, strength

miracle, you have no past,

 

there,

where once,

that return, where you go

barefoot, upon dry dusty alley

where you cloaked penetrate,

in scent, in movement into the

whirlwind

2.

eluding through the catacombs,

the edge crumbles,

silhouettes threaten,

that challenge after which you longed

like echo around you, smell of blood,

hunger, immured in earthen wall,

there it hides,

hatred, of steel and concrete

that rust of agony, copper

of the green oxides, that nostalgy

which calls you, which is death

false satiety, pain

sorrow and suffering,

 

eludes or retreats,

while you walk again

through the same dark transience,

through phosphorus, through looks, through

softness

 

those inaccessible towers

where your access was banned,

where are they!

in heights, in mirror‘s mist,

in space...

through fundaments you notice

transparency and preciousness

of secrets and men concealed, all in vain are

balsam, daggers, clarity

all in vain are purple, gold and

eagles, all in vain are testimonies

permanences,

ether, through ether he comes

for sheaves

 

their curses like black, entangled

threads, into deepest hole,

where sentenced by themselves

they rot in their shiny dream,

seized with fear, those curses you throw

on them, those carbonic

webby, worthlesnesses,

for them he comes,

inexorably

 

now when here, while you bleed

magma, again you feel,

stream and force, stone tissues

melt, you cast into that amorphous

hot concentration

and those cries don‘t call you

any more, they fly into darkness,

cave, into oscillation of infinite

motion

3.

degenerated pain, that horror

interwoven, that destruction omnipresent,

that countenance without hope, the fall

into depression and ice,

death-rattle of bloodstream,

that helpless abandonment to

blows, boreas, to the might of

force, desperation

sagginess, bottom;

you speak with fire, you kill with fire,

with implosion you deliver new age,

aeon

body

 

your color is that hidden

quiet name, that final sound of

catharsis, that deepest inhale of

liquid infinite pain,

that smile of yours, kiss and

gift, that veil behind which you

 

search through emptiness, waiting

in that illusory, immobile

condition, azure crystal around you,

death, desert, lifeless

 

who will come

 

this way.

 

forever you leave caves,

principles, art of life,

forever you lose objects and faces,

you leave your self in that crater

shell, form, slag

bubble, shadow, self

you leave a dream.

4.

your thoughts are slow

skin, pulse, slow breath

light somehow, unnoticed

like wave from the deep

strongest, lifts you (up)

you fly, fast,

 

you are in that sphere

in tranquility,

where passes by you, where

permeates, taste, peace

 

you stop

because they come,

for you are here,

filled to the brim,

you don‘t take and gently,

allow

 

force engulfs you, rage or

gentleness, silence or shout,

permanence or end,

you do nothing,

for karma is without you,

for the wind is, sand, redness

sun, smoke

 

your shape is now

apparition, behind, former, was

shadow, breath, your shape

face, yours, out of reach, deja

vu, the desired,

 

paid by pain.

 

and the eyes are only here,

eternity, flame.

 

now before that sculpture

there‘s no hesitation, that struggle of

warrior and snake

that blood and drama, that

death and marble, that

hopeles, yours

story -

you take away with you.

5.

you walk, you see

you know,

 

the call

you hear through the noise, through touch

you feel, through ether

through your own

beat, which you constantly

follow.

 

you come close

 

through thick blue color.

 

you sense her,

blood,

that glittering,

tissue, that

in abyss, hidden

choked,

smolders,

you feel through dark.

 

with your somber

abyssmal heart

into the last

immediate circle

you type, the code,

plasma,

into her bloodstream.

6.

everything is faked

victims and murderers

life that passes by

life which demands

steals and kills

gives and imbibes

penetrates into its own image

into vacuum,

which tears itself from the

depth

 

faked is the outbreath by which you

throw out yourself

the inbreath which heals

cruelty and gentleness

your effects

hits, charisma

intellect and

 

just the flight of silver wings

you just pass through the atmosphere

down cirruses and nebulas

down summits of granite

icy rivers

reflections of lakes

waters salty and green

 

you sell everything for that fire
