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
