ПРЕД ДА СЕ РОДИМЕ

Улиците беа асфалтирани
пред да се родиме и сите
соѕвездија веќе беа формирани.
Лисјата гниеја
до работ на тротоарот.
Среброто црнееше врз
кожата на работниците.
Нечии коски растеа низ
должината на сонот.

Европа се обединуваше
пред да се родиме и косата
на една девојка спокојно
се ширеше врз површината
на морето.
