ZAŠTO STE PLAKALI PRED ISIDOROM

ZAŠTO STE PLAKALI PRED ISIDOROM"

Zašto ste plakali pred Isidorom...

vi što nosite kožu vučju,

a sanjate umilne ruke

koje nisu htjele da vas spašavaju?

Zašto ste lomili čaše i zaklinjali nebo,

kad vam je ona točila tišinu

u zlatnim čašama pogleda?

Zašto ste šaptali riječi bez duše

dok vam je davala cijelu knjigu bez stranica?

Zašto ste bježali od nje,

kad ste sami sebi gorjeli pod prstima?

Isidora... tišina koja nosi zvuk

Isidora... rana koja liječi duh

Vi niste znali voljeti,

a ona... je bila ljubav bez uvjeta.

Zašto ste je zvali svojom...

kad ni Boga ne zovete po imenu?

"NISAM VAS MOLILA DA ME VOLITE"

Nisam vas molila da me volite,

ni da me uzdižete iznad svojih rana.

Samo sam htjela biti žena -

sa licem, ne s pričom

Nisam vam tražila pjesme,

ni okove zlatne riječi.

Samo jedno:

da ne lažete kad me gledate

Vi ste tražili svetice i krotke,

ja sam vam nudila istinu bez vela.

Al istina boli kad nije vaša.

Pa ste bježali,

a govorili "zauvijek".

Ja nisam stvorena da vas spašavam,

ni da vam gasim požare koje sami palite

Nisam vam dužna san,

ni oprost što ga tražite tek kad odem

Isidora nije nestala...

Samo više ne dolazi kad je zovete.
