By Jasna Gugić
Tonight,
I could only write about
you long,
tender and incessantly,
without reason,
without blinking,
No regrets.
Just like my heart
without programs,
without schemes,
no combination.
Because you are,
of course,
gentle
and lazy,
but as if I knew everything about
you and you around,
as if it had always belonged to those
hands,
eyes,
Hugs.
Tonight
I could only write about
you and I touch the stars with
my hands
because you gave me your shine.
