TATJANA DEBELJACKI

THE PAIN

I take a nap and IT HURTS,

I fall asleep, wake up

IT HURTS

I think about something else

I feel THE PAIN

I look for myself,

I lie to myself,

I get drunk,

and IT HURTS,

and IT HURTS.

To die in the arms of someone who does not trust you

IT HURTS.

INSTEAD OF MY WILL

Before the sunrise,

Before the cock-a-doodle-do,

Barking of the dog,

And something else,

While I’m introducing myself,

I’m showing special attention

Laughing at

The double-echoing applause.

By the same sound they are revealing the secret.

Are these the people I used to know?

Why are they here?

I accept the boquets

Of withered words.

I don’t have time to dry the greeting,

To tune up the look.

To shake hands.

I’m in a hurry for thirsty Eros

Blisfully absent minded!

INCUBUS – INCUBI

Do you feel any aches in particular

Part of the body that any medications could relief,

Neither massage, nor any other therapy could?

Do you dream the dreams that become true?

Do you suffer from headaches often

Those with no real organic cause?

Does the «inner voice » sometimes

whisper that you should start an argument, smash, adore

the devil, do non-consensual sexual activities, incest and alike?

Do you feel repulsion towards

Praying and addressing to God?

No?

Do you have cramps or itches in any part of your body

With no real organic cause?

Do you have a feeling that someone is constantly following you

And influencing your life in a negative way?

Yes ?

I dream from time to time

I dream on regular basis

I do not dream
