When Great Trees Fall

When great trees fall

When great trees fall,

rocks on distant hills shudder,

lions hunker down

in tall grasses,

and even elephants

lumber after safety.

When great trees fall

in forests,

small things recoil into silence,

their senses

eroded beyond fear.

When great souls die,

the air around us becomes

light, rare, sterile.

We breathe, briefly.

Our eyes, briefly,

see with

a hurtful clarity.

Our memory, suddenly sharpened,

examines,

gnaws on kind words

unsaid,

promised walks

never taken.

Great souls die and

our reality, bound to

them, takes leave of us.

Our souls,

dependent upon their

nurture,

now shrink, wizened.

Our minds, formed

and informed by their

radiance,

fall away.

We are not so much maddened

as reduced to the unutterable ignorance

of dark, cold

caves.

And when great souls die,

after a period peace blooms,

slowly and always

irregularly. Spaces fill

with a kind of

soothing electric vibration.

Our senses, restored, never

to be the same, whisper to us.

They existed. They existed.

We can be. Be and be

better. For they existed.

-Maya Angelou,

(for she truly was a magnificent tree)

Jebiga, jst mam praznik.

(Trubar in Matilda)

Na nabiralniku imam nalepko,

zato mi poštar ne daje not reklam.

Mi pa trka g. Kapitalizem

na vse možne platforme.

1. novembra zvonijo sirene:

gmail, jutjube, fejs, mesenđer.

Še tinder pravi,

da je zadeva resna:

imam en superlajk.

V Nokiji so imeli prav.

Dotiki bi morali biti le med ljudmi.

Smartphoni smrdijo po kapitalizmu.

Influencerji so se razpasli kot uši.

Ne obstaja aplikacija,

ki bi odstranila gnide.

Treba je na roke.

Moj nos je naveličan istih vonjev.

Prižgala bom svečo.

Pizda, a smo že druzga?

Klobuk

Včash nosš kobuk, 

dat sonce ne sije, 

včash ga povezneš na gwawo, 

dat dž u vratnk le lije. 

Uzadno sm ga dawa gor, 

ker sm mewa mastne wase, 

dons pa zato, 

da tukoj se ve, 

da sm gorska koza, 

k je pršwa med aldi, 

da pove kuko u hrbih

vemo kuko to gre,

da sej treba lpo ugwantat,

pa kšo gavtrožo prpet,

če greš iskat albezn ke dol u mest.

Tribal woman carrying, not world, but shelter on her back. She also gives you opportunity to explore. Fish is queen of underworld, the creator of movement. Fish disturbs water but the water keeps it's clarity and nutrition. In Finish mythology the world below us is opposite reflection of our own. But when we skip traditional form of dualism, everything connects in perfect matter that is life form. Big bang. #love #death #sexuality

Predala sem se

Vse je šlo. 

Morala. Zaobljuba. 

Spustil se je pedagoški kazalec. 

Bodečo žico je razjedla rja. 

Od fabrike je ostal le dimnik. 

Šla je zadnja borka. 

Največja korenina. 

Nisem več vnukinja

in nikoli ne bom. 

Mati. 

Babica. 

Svetovna prvakinja. 

Plačana športnica. 

Čas je da vložim kumarice za zimo.

In prižgem čik.
