IZ USTA MI ISPADA JEZIK
iz usta mi ispada jezik
to više nije jezik to je golema jetra teleća
onog teleta što su ga zaklali prekjučer
uvjerava me mesar moje omiljene mesnice
ali ja u mesnicu niti nisam otišao
nemam ni omiljenu mesnicu
samo mi je jezik ispao iz usta
ta golema jetra
vraćam je u usta guram u grlo
odustajem kad shvatim da me guši
moj jezik ponovno ispada
vješa se plazi po vratu liže tijelo
moj jezik moj jezik moj preveliki jezik

MY TONGUE FALLS OUT OF MY MOUTH
my tongue falls out of my mouth
it is no longer a tongue, it is a huge calf’s liver
of the calf we slaughtered yesterday
assures me the butcher of my favorite butcher shop
but I didn’t go to the butcher shop
and neither do i have a favorite butcher shop
it is my tongue that has fallen out of my mouth
this huge liver
i’m putting it back pushing it into my throat
i give up when i realize that it is choking me
my tongue falls out again
hangs onto me creeps up my neck licks my body
through my tongue through my tongue through my most grievous tongue
