BEAUTY WHICH SPREADS THROUGH THE LANDSCAPES
I hope that this year as well I will write the 144 Definitions of Art
from 24th May to 4th June
a little bit of strength – a lot of sense there is
old Indian
constant path
is waiting
path is still
path is beautiful
I recognised its beauty on the First Walking for Poetry
twenty nine years ago
beauty which spreads through the landscapes
I couldn’t walk for ten years later on if it wasn’t
for the beauty of the path and walking as dancing
nothing more miraculous than this day
everything that ever was is today as well
everything that will ever be is already now
old Indian is moving away
a poem on the road he is
I Am The One Who Sees How Each Grass Blade Is Swinging In The Landscape
I Am The One Who Mother Gave Birth To In Order To Be Brother And Sister To Each Being
I Am The One Who Father Created In Order To Be Inextinguishable Flame Of Freedom
my youth is in Your youth
my essence is in Your essence
one is the pulse
the essence of trudging
the essence of tamburica-playing
the essence of tattooing
from that distance into this closeness he came
from this closeness into that distance he will go
I Am The One Who Is Turning Distances into Closeness’s
I Am The One Who Is Turning Closeness’s Into Love
I Am The One Who Is Turning Love Into Loyalty

EVERYTHING YEARNS FOR EACH OTHER
this morning I got the stitches from my chests removed
on Friday the ones from my leg should be as well
the air in Topcider felt so good
snails
a worm
everything yearns for each other
harmony of mutual yearning fills each particle of the Universe
I feel sleepy whole day
life is dance which should be honestly danced
greatest human crime is calling many beings
inanimate and also not seeing beings in things
Topcider lake has been cleansed today
they emptied it and then they were taking out the mud from its bottom in carts
each work is important
I’m thankful to the nurse Snezana who has been
changing my bandages three-four times already
selfishness is hatred towards oneself
hatred towards oneself is spreading on the hatred towards everybody
unselfishness is love for oneself
love for oneself is spreading on the love for others
I’m constantly listening old blues
they’re lifting me up
making me tender
when maternal instinct in a woman for her new born after
two years doesn’t transform into love for younglings of all beings maternal
instinct of that woman is transforming into the instinct of a killer throughout her life
when martial instinct in a man after the war
doesn’t transform into love for ex enemies martial instinct
of that man is transforming into the instinct of a killer throughout his life
life is full of killers
blues is guarding the world from mass killers
I can breathe air in more and more
I make uncontrolled sighs less and less
what makes me serene is that my life was filled with admiration and gratitude
I admire brave people
I’m fascinated with independent people
I adore good people
all beings are fulfilling me
I am each being
PHILOSOPHY
cloudy rainy morning
I cannot make myself comfortable at the desk
my right leg is hurting me
I hope it will be easier when the stitches are taken off
patience only patience
I was sleeping
I’m drinking second cranberry tea
soon I will go to bed again
when I’m lying my leg almost doesn’t hurt me
every blessing is glory of the blessing itself
moving away
while moving at snail speed everything is swaying at snail slowness
I love philosophy
I love philosophy of stones
I love philosophy of plants
I love philosophy of animals
one is philosophy
philosophy of all beings
one is art
art of all beings
one is religion
religion of all beings
I rejoice everyone who is walking and running at the moment
run run all living beings
sing Louis Armstrong – whole Universe shudders
I was sleeping
I’m drinking cold chocolate
drenching rain has stopped
for drenching rain I’ve heard from one woman at the hospital
in the elevator while I was driven to make an X-ray of my lungs
it was magnificent that rain
those rain drops on the hospital windows
cold fresh air
philosophy of solidarity
ART IS FORGIVE
Art is forgive – find a place for me within You
Art is forgive – gusts of wet wind
Art is forgive – suicide man’s letter
Art is forgive – a child which is playing on the open railroad
Art is forgive – children which are walking over the icy lake
Art is forgive – a boy who is walking over high rampart

I wrote first twelve out of 144 Definitions of Art
new ones of this year from number 1152 to number 1296
I’m writing them for nine years now from 24th May to 4th June
today after getting out the stitches from the wound on my leg
it was painful
it’s nicer now. stitches are not cutting into the flesh
I have no strength
today is Bob Dylan’s seventieth birthday
coming from hospital I was cold
I couldn’t have enough sleep
today’s first twelve definitions are behind me
I slept enough
it’s warmer
there are no stitches in my skin
blessings are coming one after the other
music is not stopping
everyone who is happy please leave a crumb of happiness for the world’s happiness
music is not stopping
blessings are coming one after the other
path is not betraying
rose is constantly love-kissing

I’m writing in order to make myself stronger
I’m writing in order to be less alone
I’m writing so that a runaway child huddling in the hay would have a warm heart
I made some cranberry tea in order to finish today’s blessings
I drank the tea and I didn’t write the blessings
slowly
word by word
only to move a bit
come closer to today’s end
only that
nothing more
enough
only that

a moment ago I walked for the first time on my own
when I went down underneath the
First House of All Beings and looked down the empty street I felt
indescribable beauty of the abyss of life in front of me
a child in the middle of the cosmos of life
I walked five hundred meters to the little park and I set on the bench
I was breathing deeply
watching the camomile in front of my feet
I remembered how in my childhood I was picking camomile with Kaja
one dog ran to me
I took off my topcoat but I immediately put it back on
on my way back I got sweaty on the stares
climbing the stairs feels good for my right leg which is in pain and bleeding
I’m sitting in my topcoat at the moment
I’m sweating
I changed my clothes
while sitting on the place where my leg is still bleeding it’s really tight
indescribable beauty of the abyss of life in front of me
a herd of horses on the river island
school of fish
birds are flying high in the heavenly rose
somebody
on
the
road

I should always sleep on my back and I wasn’t sleeping on my back
since I was thirty eight but always on the side so I can’t get enough sleep
I hope that I will have three short walks every day
this morning it felt really good being on the early sun
morning freshness and sun was already warming up my body
I was sitting on the bench
climbing the stairs does good to my leg
afterwards I slept for two hours
sleeping strengthens and heels
the wound on my leg is tight and it’s still bleeding a bit
now as well I can’t wait to lie down and sleep a bit
camomile smells wonderful in the sun
linden has blossomed
fruit is coming
flowers
grass
new potatoes
tomatoes
the honesty of beggary upsets me
Rimbaud
I’m missing the swallows
somebody
rose
on

road

exuberant life takes place underneath the big rock in the grass
I’m thinking of good boy within me
he used to give me strength to bare even what I cannot
I see that good boy is tired
he’s walking
whenever his strength comes back
he’s singing
dancing
he is through the other-female
he is through the other-male
the other is
Little God

shoulders

there was a lot of lightning and thunder last night but it burst out just now
everything is quiet now
air is fresh
mountain
I love the sounds of rain
they are lulling
caressing from within
rain can be heard
snow cannot be heard
if I’m protected while raining it’s indescribable pleasure
I’m surrendering to tranquillity

to the big worm which was carried by water that flowed down the street yesterday
to snuggling
writing is snuggling
singing is love-kissing
snuggle my beloved males
love-kiss my beloved females
grace of art is in snuggling to
sky and earth are snuggling
day and night are snuggling
innocent ones are snuggling
I cannot detach from the word snuggling it won me that much
it snuggled to me
at one moment I felt that all sense of the world depends on snuggling
snuggling to God
breathing through God
being God
love-kissing and snuggling to God

today is Kaja’s eighty seventh birthday
Kaja mother of all beings
Blessed Lady
I will eat a cake in Kaja’s glory
from the beginning of the year I’ve planned to decide
on the first of June should I break up working with my closed ones
as I see things didn’t change for the better but now I don’t have the strength to decide
my web-site with a new title page and new link which
I wanted to begin on the first of June I’ve also moved for the autumn
this morning I had a bit of a stomach ache and that made me sad
after seven years I saw Slavko Milekic and that felt good
we were talking about consciousness
harmony
it was wonderfully drizzling this morning
cold air did me good
I was dressed well so I enjoyed in the rain and cold
every day is a great day
every day is glory of all days
every day is a cause of all days

whinnying
38TH TIME LAO TZU
It is those who interfere not with their living
That are wise in exalting life.
Lao Tzu in the Chapter 75
The big and strong belong underneath.
The gentle and weak belong at the top.
Lao Tzu in the Chapter 76
cold
fog
morning drizzle
I’m looking forward to go outside
to join the snails
when I got out I took photos of roses
rose buds
overwhelming beauty has filled my body
like in the morning dream in which an older serious female doctor has
received me in the clinic and then she opened the door behind which appeared
a restaurant in which naked women and men were having lunch and making love
I thought of calling a friend and ask her to come to
caress her breasts and in that way nourish both myself and her
breasts kisses
the very breasts
the very kisses
it was drizzling
Ljilji came running
Fatima approached
Robert came from behind
Jasmin was in a big garbage container
those children really mean a lot to me
the same as the drizzle is full of life so are those children full of love
invisible motions are filling the atmosphere
innocent little souls are caressing souls of things and people
breasts on a palm of a hand
kisses a gaze
each gaze is a search for God
i

you
i
will

HERE I AM IN THE LIGHT OF THE VERY CONSCIOUSNESS

eternal boy

only as rejected we are worth something
Diary 2003
I was on the balcony
I was whisking hot chocolate on the balcony
wind is blowing
it got me excited
I immediately wished to mention it
wind in a warm day
I’m drinking the hot chocolate
I am missing a close person
last night I was thinking of a close person
about my close ones who will make a circle
around me and hopefully protect me from the system
ID
place of residence
health insurance
I don’t have strength
I’m missing reading
I cannot read because there is a possibility of pinching a spine nerve
I think of knitting and it brightened me up
knitting has reminded me of shoe shining
life outside of life
sentence which ends in endlessness
laws of indeterminacy helped the laws of determinacy
I was helped by the balcony. hot chocolate. wind and mentioning the wind
close person that I’m missing. my close ones which will hopefully save me from the
system. acknowledgement that I’m missing reading. knitting. shoe shining. life
outside of life. sentence which ends in endlessness. laws of indeterminacy
here
i
am

INNOCENCE OF PERSISTENCE
Cherevic, Banoshtor, Susek, Neshtin, then further into the woods, right away
work for Nhandan Chirco Branko Popovic and Dragana Varadinac
Diary 2003
last night I was watching with great pleasure a film about Joe Strummer
persisting in innocence
dust from the road on the legs of a walker
heroism through form
cosmic dust on the back of a stranger
ethics of shape
for days
ethics of means
for years
calling
ancient bread of music
with admiration
with bowing
with bowing to admiration
with admiration to bowing
with monastic fires of all-unity
I started again to read the A People’s History of the United States
human struggle for freedom is touching
state is horrible because it constantly bans freedom
faces of Indian chiefs are faces of God
faces of white leaders of the USA are faces of clerks
faces of Indians are beaming with freedom and light
faces of white leaders are beaming with greed and crime
every being is being born with the fire of freedom in their heart
when enough of beings are guarding and keeping the fire of freedom
the fire of freedom lightens up the Universe
when majority of beings puts out the fire of freedom
within themselves dark is ruling the world
Joe Strummer
Indians
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova
Julian Assange
sandy shores
beauty of a magpie
I’M MISSING THE FOETAL POSITION
but to give life for Greek light – that’s already Hölderlin
I said this morning to Ivana
art of living art
art of experience
experiment of art
it’s wonderful that art in Russian is experience and experience experiment
I’m missing the foetal position in which I can’t
put myself in because my sternum is not healed yet
it seems to me that I could gain strength in that position
to surrender to the goodness of the beginning
to bathe in tears of self-joy
I love art without experience and I love art of experience
I could talk for hours about
sensual art
non-sensual art
circles of fire
all-reduction
blue of the blue
God without God
God of God
constant poem
infinite singing
lilacs and hyacinths in the belly
up to here is green from here is purple
changing is changing
4:49pm
at this time a month ago I was admitted for medical examination in Zemun Hospital
heart surgery started after midnight
I’m still in shock
the same way I don’t know how I was born
I don’t know how I was born again after the surgery
it’s wonderful that poem is still here
that singing is not stopping
that all beings are even more all beings
that loyalty is not dying
that
god
is
even
dearer
to
god
ONLY WHAT IS IN INTEREST OF ALL BEINGS IS GOOD
Monday
first orgasm
first drawing of the Blue Rose
first recording of the Blue Film
first drawing of the 64 Buds
after the operation
only what is in interest of all beings is good
everything that is in interest only of some beings is evil
deer roaring
milk of young cows is foaming
hearts are beating in birds eggs
yes
sex appeal of daisies refines the world
horniness of rain showers gives satisfaction to the soil
unselfishness of the poor eroticises life without hope
yes
goodness depends of each being
beauty of the world is experience of each being
pain in my chests while sneezing is lessening
the average of last week walking was four kilometres and eight hundred meters
only life for all beings is life
life only for some beings is death
horses are whining
cows are mooing
wolfs are howling
bamboos are growing up to the skies
rivers are running wild out of the riverbeds
flickers of the Universe are flickering by each being
I thought of the mud of the river Avon which runs through Bristol
I thought of the healing mud of the swamp near Melenci
I thought of the dusks over the plain
of the night in which everything blends into one
HOBO WRITING
I is singing to God
Diary 2003
the most beautiful is writing from the state of pure goodness
goodness is the most creative
everything is budding from possibilities
one thinks of anything and that already is
hobo writing
to the bank of a canal overgrown with bulrush
by the mudslide in which birds are nesting
step into the water up to the knees
stretching out on the warm sand
feeling the grace of a small poem
breathing the loyalty through all beings
writing from the state of goodness is writing through loyalty
goodness and loyalty are one
light of creating
hips in embrace
thighs in kissing
pleasure of sexual act permeates all shapes of life
pleasure of loyalty surrenders each being to all beings
pleasure of goodness fills each being
surrender to each other each other are constantly saying to each other
4:54pm
I just found out that my Bogdanka Poznanovic is gone
I was addressing her as God
she had beautiful tone of voice
she loved me
I met her and Dejan in Pula in nineteenth sixty nine
she was always smiling
today I will walk for her
hobo writing Bogdanka and me will be walking
there is no ending to vagrancy
as well as to writing
as well as to love
God
EVERYTHING TREMBLES FROM RUNNING TOWARDS
carnations on the table are fragrant
in the small bouquet of carnations there are ten buds as well
vigour buds
clitorises of constant horniness with life
music is spreading from the speakers
it gladdens me
singing is love-kissing
forebodings of the one and only heart
I’m moving on through swaying
like a fish
I’m just moving and sliding towards the next word
I’m swimming through the water of writing
I’m waving water water is waving me
fish-like
aerodynamic
freedom of each word is a condition of freedom for any word
freedom of creation is in the freedom of creation
freedom of singing is in the freedom of singing
simplicity always opens all the depth of simplicity
sometimes I sigh heavily with no control
birds fly towards birds
fishes swim towards fishes
roses smell with roses
shapes of meaning float by shapes of meaning
every soul runs towards the other soul
everything trembles from running towards
running-towards-like
tiny-like
love flies fish-like
love floats aerodynamically
carnations on the table are fragrant
kisses of constant horniness with life
