GRAPES OF LOVE
it got colder it’s the same it moves on it’s not moving enough for the beginning Petar just told me that in blessings as well as on every day photos of my face all changes can be seen sometimes you’re ten years older sometimes you’re ten years younger I’m happy about it everything can be seen on the grass as well everything can be seen everything is known just goodness remains few days ago I saw vine in Zarkovo how with a lot of future grapes climbs towards the fifth floor of the building how only good is that vine it’s not shy to give itself away people are too shy to love they are afraid to shine they are hiding behind laughter they are hiding behind irony depression behind superiority knowledge habits world depends on everyone and everyone should know that one woman thrown her two children from the fourth floor and she herself jumped to her death I was shaken by that. in what kind of horror was she. I sympathise with her love-kiss just love-kiss swim across don’t imply midday bells are ringing they ring each noon bells of love are not giving up bells are good love rings at everyone’s door towards all floors grapes of love are climbing
GREAT SUCCESS
when today on the Zamun open market a beautiful Gipsy woman who was selling sponges saw word love on my temple she shouted that it’s great is it really written. I approached her and showed and then she said well-done that’s the best thing I saw and then she lifted her thumb up to give me support and I felt greatest success in my life so far successes of mine future ones present ones eternal successes of every being you are God God’s modesty old nun and her two pairs of knitted socks my face in front of Your face I disappear within You I am a woman which looked at me today she surrendered herself to me in a moment she found myself within me for herself liven me up within her for all beings unknown forever gone beautiful woman in Pozeska street You are taking photos of me now take a photo of me so that all beings can see me so that they see how I love-kiss them take a photo of my love take a photo of the woman in Pozeska street take a photo of the Gipsy woman form Zemun open market make me immortal sing me eternal as well angles as my friend too photo camera in Your hands remind me to finish You a story about fucked up woman who is creating peace in beings also about a man who’s fucked up and sings peace to the Universe radiance p e a c p e a c e c a e p c a e p
72ND TIME 33 DAYS
I’m on the forest path enjoying it meanders it goes up and down it curves behind the trees on certain places it’s mottled with tree roots it’s sunny here and there great old uprooted tree lies next to it like a big whale whenever I’m on the forest path I always wonder how was it formed I feel the people who upkeep it with their walking through the narrower path I joined the wider where fresh horse shit is smelling wider path is like a bed of a precipitated creek I stop and watch the moss on the northern side of the tree it’s silent and regenerating in the woods a little bird saw me and flew away forests are interlaced with forest roads forest is calming me it embraces me it’s happy that I’m in it forest is humming forest is wooding great red butterfly on the rotten trunk yellow butterfly with black spots is here as well it walks over the land. it moves. it constantly lifts up and down its wings it’s nice for butterflies next to the rotten trunk butterflies are marvellously beautiful beauty of fragility this leaf reminded me how I was drawing leaves for ten years forest is calming the brain forest path has taken me down to the foothill I got out of the forest I’m thinking the forest I am the forest

I looked at her face and said thank you. her face lightened up with God’s smile in a second I’m crossing the street on the red light. a girl on the other side of the street is waiting patiently for the green light. when I approached her I said it’s great that you are waiting. she smiled shyly and felt that she’s not really a fool surrounded by rowdiness of this world here I am at the computer let’s get going with Riesling with grapes and light from the depths of the earth with sun’s fire sweetness of grapes grows just drink me my beloved I love the bitterness of sage swallow me I am an absinth in the wine I am elixirs of all kinds a man on the road a woman in the landscape I smell of sea I’m everywhere in every moment a poem of all poems a whore to the whores I bought today twenty four crayons for three hundred dinars every colour is beautiful how sweet are little lizards I rejoice Thursday – this year’s 14th July eternal teenager’s Saturday’s boogie-woogie wow what the fuck – it’s 5.04 pm already well does it have to be again with that fuck of yours modesty modesty – my joyous joy – I protect You modesty I tenderly think of Danube’s cold water come to swim across the Danube this year when the water is a bit warmer to swim it and to swim across it slowly swimming it and admiring it – surrendering to that great water that constantly and abundantly flows Danube itself enjoys in that great amount of water that flows everyone that surrenders excites me I respect anybody who gives their money to the others I adore everyone who understands that their money is not theirs and that’s why they are giving to the others I live for everyone who gives their life to everything and everybody I am blood that flows through the veins of all beings I love-kiss you with these movements
TARAS – LUCANI
singling themselves out people are killing their being through which they are uniting
sweat is leaving traces of salt on my neck
we are missing one another – God’s glory
ask me to tell You about the thighs
don’t ask me since You haven’t asked me last time either
red currant next to the road
cabbage underneath the levee
shower over the orchard and garden
Taras
Lucani
spaces are fucking and marrying through mystery
sexes in God’s love are resurrecting through mystery
bounty of daily bread
bounty of supernatural bread
bite me – be united
I gave myself up to Your surrendering
sunny valleys
undisputed innocence
longing of singing for fucking
longing of fucking for singing
singing of fucking for longing
long me longing
pleasantly with pleasure please me within You
open up through each pore of mine
reborn Yourself when good opportunity occurs
sunny valleys wow
blueness
sea-like
sky-like
ocean-like
so close and yet so remote
sweat is pouring down my chest
it slides towards the belly button

EVERYTHING SURRENDERS TO EVERYTHING
the heat of the day is coming in through the open window
they say that it’s going to get cooler tonight
I sleep naked but I sweat all night
everything is good. coldness as well as heat. rain as well as snow. as well as wind
every word is good. every movement. every number. every oath
big transoceanic ship is parting from the dock
cowbells are ringing
a donkey is braying
a mare is smiling
Fernando Pessoa is writing
it’s irretrievable what I’m writing
a strap is slowly slipping down her shoulder
he is slowly getting down the stairs
he is gazing into his own thought which is watching him
a ball is flying high
everything attracts each other
love is one
a column of ants is meandering
figs are sweeter and sweeter
sit here and put Your feet in the sea
the donkey is still braying
it’s Tuesday
water in the lake is warmer and warmer
never forget that You are loved
never forget that You are love-kissed
resin is slipping down the tree trunk
sexuality is surrendering to goodness
thinking is surrendering to singing
fly
and
join

I thought – I’ll be swimming if You think that something else would be better to read during those 33 days let me know let me know even million years from now this blessing is the testimony of that year 1.002.011 today’s blessings are really going hard but they’re moving now it visible even with a naked eye that I moved away I nearly started to fly bees swallows Gypsies I love-kiss you locked up ones I love-kiss you molested ones I love-kiss you life I love-kiss You immortal life You sing the life of immortality I bow to Your love a bitch is licking nobleness a picture of beauty sings the goodness of the words I’m carrying a handful of good words in my arms and I’m surrendering it to Your arms I’m dozing off I’m yawning
