What Branko Said

What Branko Said

“U ovoj noći mene nije stid
što pevam iz zida lepše no na slobodi.” 
Branko Miljković






These white walls at the end of the road that leads nowhere, let’s not be ashamed of them.
Rivers run, but they say nothing.
The Sun has other things to worry about.
The strongest ones have given up first.
He did say only rascals would persevere.
Life is deadly, but it resists death, he said.
Let’s not be ashamed of that walled-in ship
and that scary love that rules the world.
