Balkanski putopis

Polako idi kroz male crkve
ne pitajući za put,
pozdravi se s drvenim rukama svetaca
ogrezlim u krv i mleko,
gledaj u svodovima džamija
drhtanje belih zmija,
podesi svoje vreme
po kućnim satovima večnosti,
sagni se pod ponoćnim zvonjavama
bistrim i teškim
kao da ti zvezde padaju na šlem,
u šumi velikih ruža
posedi s majstorima
neka ti nežnim dletom promene lik.

Onda u planine!
Do divovskih čaša punih leda
i studenih čardaka magle.
Tad se obazri
i pogledaj dole te trke ludih šuma
i zveri bešnje od vetra,
na pustošnom vidiku naroda nema
ni vitkih zdanja,
još niko tu nije stigao,
još ništa tu nije stvoreno,
ni sabor glasova, ni reke!

Sve što si video na Balkanu
behu samo privid-lađe
na mrkoj pučini prapočetka.
