Now

sowing into the wind
Zlatko Krasni

Just one cigareta – and we‘ll think up

blissfull moments beside the water,
on shores that become embers:
in words, on sores,
sometimes a wave;
                                    another toke –
cos we glow out & into the distance
of the doubled seasons:
                                           what once – when once,
we now never say not.
         After all
the voice sounds on.
