Famous Quotes By Vasko Popa
out of each pain which we dont mention
a chestnut tree grows up and remains mysterious behind us
out of each hope which we cherish astar arises
and move unattainable in front of us — Vasko Popa
i have wiped your face off my face
ripped your shadow off my shadow
levelled the hills in you
turned your plains into hills
set your seasons at odds within you
turned all the ends of the world from you
wrapped the path of my life around you
my impenetrable my impossible path
now you just try to find me — Vasko Popa
Sing little box
Don't let sleep overtake you
The world's awake within you
In your four-sided emptiness
We turn distance into nearness
Forgetfulness into memory
Don't let your nails come loose
For the very first time
We watch sights beyond this world
Through your keyhole
Turn your key in our mouths
Swallow words and numbers
Out of your song
Don't let your lid fly open
Your bottom drop
Sing little box — Vasko Popa
Don't let sleep overtake you; the world's awake within you. — Vasko Popa
Race
Some bite from the others
A leg an arm or whatever
Take it between their teeth
Run out as fast as they can
Cover it up with earth
The others scatter everywhere
Sniff look sniff look
Dig up the whole earth
If they are lucky and find an arm
Or leg or whatever
It's their turn to bite
The game continues at a lively pace
As long as there are arms
As long as there are legs
As long as there is anything — Vasko Popa
he is blind in his love
and he sees
no other beauty
save her he loves
who will cost him his life — Vasko Popa
Let's see you find the world now. — Vasko Popa
Shut one eye then the other
Peek into every corner of yourself
See that there are no nails no thieves
See that there are no cuckoo's eggs
Shut then the other eye
Squat and jump
Jump high high high
On top of yourself
Fall then with all your weight
Fall for days on end deep deep deep
To the bottom of your abyss
Who doesn't break into pieces
Who remains whole gets up whole
Plays — Vasko Popa
