Thank You For the Day,
…THANK YOU FOR THE NIGHT!
By Fatmir Terziu
In the long journey of metaphors
With beasts,
With insects,
With bestiality within ourself
Hurried steps. Melting and kissing
A life measured by moving hands
Always entwined in the arithmetic
The movement of the pendulum with a screech
Thank you for the day, …thank you for the night!
Bikinis thrown into modern chests
In this path sown for, who knows?
Bouquets of Flowers that hold the smell of mould
A crumb,
A promise
A stabbing disappointment.
Thank you for the day, …thank you for the night!
Instinctive combing during this journey
In windows,
Reflections,
Crystal tires
Frozen ice. Melted ice
Statues with cold flesh erode themselves
‘He was born a hero!’ …’She died a heroine!’
Thank you for the day, …thank you for the night!
Hurried memories in lined papers
Among the single figures
Double figures
Or triplets
Momentary distractions. Sadness and parting
A life which is recycled through memories
Ancient footsteps, old blemishes
Rest in the distant field
Thank you for the day, …thank you for the night!
