MARINA MIJAKOVSKA

 

 

Suitcases

 

I'm fed with a few sundries:

a camera, a chewing gum,

an ink and a notebook.

A red hat

and red ballet shoes,

a pocket full of memories,

a photo of the park,

a souvenir of the Fishing Bastion

and Matija Korvin's church.

A guide-book,

tight jeans and a jacket

of red cashmere.

 

I'm fed with desires:

kilometers,

new streets,

worn-out wheels,

a new layer

of memory

from

dust.

 

I am a box of secrets!

Roll me

and I’ll enrich

your soul

with memories!

 

The Demon's Homelessness

 

I fight with the demon in me.

Decapitated-Devoiced-Devalued.

I annihilate Time and Space!

Which is my home?

I'm a rootless plant!

I'm a house without a home!

I'm

a Homeless,

a Faceless and a Nameless

cane!

 

A Puzzle

 

I make love

with

the Letter.

I’m upstairs; I’m downstairs;

forwards and backwards.

 

I’m moving

between

dropping out

a scream

which

converts

everything

around you

into

a seductive

Pleasure.
