Sadness: English poem by Macedonian poetess Sanja Atanasovska
I shifted my breath
in your sigh.
That was the end of it
and the beginning of the beginning.
While I regretted my youth
my ax fell in honey.
When we met
how much love is left
in cubic meters of air?
I’m sorry I forbade you to be silent
and what of the ugly duckling
I wanted to make a swan.
