Branko Miljković was an iconic Serbian poet. He was best known across Yugoslavia and the Soviet bloc for his influential writings. He died prematurely in 1961 at the age of 27, found hanging from a tree in Zagreb. This controversial incident was officially recorded as a suicide. In his one-line poem "Epitaph," he writes "Ubi me prejaka reč" ("I was killed by too strong a word") almost sensing his premature end of life.

Misao koja ne ume da misli
zavlada svetom. I sada je kasno
bilo šta reći što bi bilo jasno
i čoveku i ptici pod kojom smo kisli
i mrtvima koji istrunuše časno.

[Radonja]

Miljko pošteni, ali mislim da mi fali konteksta i znanja da bih u potpunosti cenio sve stihove..

Ako smo pali, bili smo padu skloni

" Eto to je ono što se naziva
pesnikom: biti licem u lice svetu
preko puta pustinje i neke zvezde naopake
i videti sve gde drugi vide samo noć "

У камену спава мало сунце што ће нас осветлити.

Чујеш ли звездани систем мога крвотока!
Понављам: неки ће свемир поново да нас створи макар слепог лица и мрачног срца док сунце не проговори
