A child took a bite of an apple with a provoking look on his face
A dog, turning his head unsympathetically all the while not noticing
the cat that had been staring at him all this time
and was now slowly crossing a bent table into the yard
An old man browsing through Slobodna Dalmacija (newspaper) finding the heading that
interests him and readjusting his glasses.
Through a window a sheet proceeds a what might be a young
woman's hand. perhaps a young woman's
I was under the impression Borosana was extinct. You are lost in thought
Perhaps you re thinking of me
Perhaps we weren't careful enough
Perhaps you got it
The memory of a touch is mixed with a sharp presence
of palm leafs and a particular accounstic brought by
the yellowish air of an early nightfall and the scent of plastic
cheap beachtoys that are slowly packed away by the daily
salespeople.
All of this and the touch of a fresh white shirt on
a salty skin and hard nipples
The scent of melted ice cream from long unfinished ice cream cones and paper
out of the ice cream place's bin.
The top of a bikini
and the rays coming of skinny sun absorbed bodies
two dirty faced kids hanging around here like stray dogs
IN the distance a cruiser ship sails by looking as if it were prepared for a ball
And I m just standing watching myself exist.
Let's take out your old man's boat tonight and go
paddling trough moonlight towards the big cruiser ship
You, dressed in your evening gown and I, already in my tuxido.
You brought your grandmother's jewellery
Slowly we'll creep up and climb up on that rope
that ties the anchor to the boat and we ll just mingle in the crowd
Upstairs the lanterns have already been lit and champagne is being poored and
on the biggest deck a Mexican band is playing that old
song that gave both of us goosebumps my darling
darling?? Yeah.
We ll get up on stage, the song begins and a guy
with a sombrero sings:
cantando bajo la luna
Yo se que la vida es sueño
El sueno es querer
El sueno es morir
por eso quiero saber
Porque me duelle tanto
Que stas tan lejos
Lejos de mi alma,
de mi cuerpo
De mi corazon
Si estarias a mi lado
Navegariamos tratranquilos por los sueňos
Mientras la luna en nuestra laguna
No para de reir
And I stand watching you exist
and u stand watching me exist
e stoi i me veo existir
