Vasko Popa World Poems
- 1. The Admirers Of The Little Box
Sing little box
Don't let sleep overtake you
The world's awake within you
... - 2. A Conceited Mistake
Once upon a time there was a mistake
So silly so small
That no one would even have noticed it
... - 3. Last News About The Little Box
The little box which contains the world
Fell in love with herself
And conceived
Still another little box
... - 4. Give Me Back My Rags #11
I've wiped your face off my face
Ripped your shadow off my shadow
Leveled the hills in you
... - 5. The Prisoners Of The Little Box
Open little box
We kiss your bottom and cover
Keyhole and key
... - 6. The Little Box
The little box gets her first teeth
And her little length
Little width little emptiness
And all the rest she has
... - 7. The Judges Of The Little Box
to Karl Max Ostojic
Why do you stare at the little box
That in her emptiness
... - 8. In The Village Of My Ancestors
Someone embraces me
Someone looks at me with the eyes of a wolf
Someone takes off his hat
So I can see him better
...
