12 BULLETS
For every God we believed we have existed
I’m speaking to you my scream
that you do not get out of my lips
but you are rotting for centuries
in the basement of my homeless heart
“I ‘ m hungryyy” you ‘re shouting
and i accidentaly turn on
the button of silence
“Shut up”! Stop bothering me.
Let me watch the “Greys Anatomy”
of my stolen dreams
to not remember my stolen life.
“I’ m hungryyy” you ‘re yelling again.
I can’t hear misserable cross -words
12 bullets
For everything i didn’t dare
For everyone i didn’t touch
For all that i didn’t make mine
For the trip i have paid the ticket
but i never received my passport
12 bullets
For all these mountains i didn’t climp
Because i was fat, short, black, gay, stupid,
Budist , refugee, weak…because i was born
With Syndrom Down..
Because i was afraid
TO BE ME
12 Bullets
For the tears inside me
For the burbery smile and the rolex of absense
12 bullets
For the hole which having holes and children leave the safe land
To cross the waves and bare-foot moons follow them.
12 bullets
For every fairytale didn’t become true, because we didn’t believe enough
-And how many dead bodies?
How many dead bodies?
-NONE???
-NONE???
OH..I SEE THE BULLETS WERE BLANK…!!!
12 METAKA
Govorim ti vriskom da mi ne salaziš s usana, dok se truješ stoljećima u podrumu mog srca beskućnika.
“Gladan sam!”, vičeš na mene i ja nehotice palim dugme tišine.
“Zaveži! Ostavi me na miru. Pustite me da gledam „Grejovu anatomiju“ svojih ukradenih snova ne bih li se ne sjećala svog ukradenog života.
“Gladan sammm!” vičeš opet… Ne mogu čuti neshvatljive unakrsne riječi.
12 metaka:
zbog svega što se nisam usudila,
za sve koje nisam dirala,
zbog svega toga nisam načinila svoje
za put koji sam platila kartu, ali nikad nisam dobila pasoš.
12 metaka:
na sve ove planine na koje se nisam popela jer sam bila debela, nespretna, kratka, visoka,
budista, hrišćanka, izbeglica, crnkinja, gej… jer sam bila slaba.
Rođeni sam Daunovac koji se boji biti to što jeste… Biti ja… Bojim se biti ja.
12 metaka za suze u meni. Za burburški osmijeh i ulogu odsutnosti.
12 metaka za rupe u rupi za onu decu koja napuste zemlju da pređu valove i za bose mjesece što pođu za njima.
12 metaka za svaku bajku koja nije postala istina. Jer nismo dovoljno vjerovali.
“I koliko mrtvih? Koliko mrtvih tijela?”
“Nijedno.”
“Nijedno??? Nijedno?”
“Nijedno.”
Meci su… bili prazni!
