A Compassionate Encounter: Rain Bordo’s “Polja od pamuka” and “Why the Color Black Had to Die?” (Child Cycle)

KLARANije put taj što je kriv.Krive su noge koje gaze po njemu.Nije za svakoga sve pa tako ni za tebeovo ovdje gdje boriš se.Ne boj se odustati.Nekada nisi za to ipronaći ćeš nove stvarikoje ćeš pričati Tini,kako si shvatila da onoza što si se borila,nije vrijedno spomena.

Depresija

DEPRESIJA   Kompletna krvna slika depresije nema ni jedne naznake anemije. Okovan njezinim hrđavim željezom zaručio sam se sa svojim krevetom.   5 godina je prošlo od sunca u sobi, bez sunca moje srce se lako zdrobi.

Maria

MARIA U PODNE Ne živi u vremenu i prostoru.Kroji vrijeme prema emocijama koje osjeća.Otisak prsta nema, kada popije,u razgovoru malo pomiče usne. Ima nježan pogled poput tisućumolitvi, pripada lijepoj haljini.Mnoštvo normi, braće i sestara, ali moždaugleda snjegove Kilimandžara. Rekla da mi može reći sve jer ni s kimse ne družim, ali pišem pa moje tajne … More Maria

For a moment, I even liked the tears,glimmering in the midst of a dark night.Hey! Maybe the firefly toosaw the reflection of the … More Firefly
