“osim u dedi
ni u čemu nismo bili bolji
od komišluka
i zašto sad nije ovde
da mi na kosu stavi venac
od ivanjskog cveća
na dlanove pospe vodu
sa tri izvora
i skine mi tvoje čini
šašave”

“I expect nothing from Psychoanalysis or therapy, whose rudimentary conclusions became clear to me a long time ago--- a domineering mother, a father whose submissiveness is shattered by a murderous gesture...

Here abstract speech fails to reach me.”
