VESNA MUNDISHEVSKA-VELJANOVSKA

 

Outflow

 

Dishonesty flows

like a scattered eye pencil

on the face of humanity.

 

Nonsense fabrications undermine

the tormenting silence that burns,

frivolous shoot the self-consciousness,

incompetent multipliers wipe out

the functions of the equations,

smeared zeros ripen on the apples

from the cheeks of the meanness...

 

The burnt blackness flows into its outflow

at the bottom of the coffee cup of the pronunciation.

With a bitter taste on my lips

I fall asleep the indecisiveness.

 

 

Sound Hunters

 

With folded sleeves

we catch sounds

in the spider web of fading memories

in the corners of the shattered house

where the drought is a conductor,

and the window wings - the instrument

to overpower emotions.

 

I'm not for mere facade painting,

nor for illegal construction

on the detuned ideals.

 

No modern construction

cannot germinate on undermined foundations.

 

 

Pyramide

 

In the center of the rectangle,

between the parallels

of the world and the century,

the impersonal man is blind

even for his own awareness

which passes him by quickly.

 

The departed mirage

sheds the sun's rays and

camouflages in a white snake.

 

At the top

on the dotted line

from the height of the destiny's portal,

guard of wingless angels

awaits

for their own resurrection.
