Vucina's crest
“My Father said It brings Happiness” is my second book of poetry published by “Tiderne Skifter”, 2003.
Here are two poems from the book:
AFTER THE APOCALYPSE
without a language, naked, my beloved, without politics, my only one, while the gypsy chorus are pressing on the most beautiful keys in our Chagall's souls, after so many journeys through the unknown, hold my hand when we fly together to our station, after we have satisfied the Antarctic currents, the nerves' longings, the earthquakes' paradoxes, celestial spheres' temples, touch my conscience until the destruction disappears, until we land, until the moment ends, my love.

WHO DO YOU LOVE IN THE MORNING
it is
God's punishment
when you have not kidnapped me long ago
when you have not detained me in your dreamcatcher hanging
over your bed
when you have not laid my head and my neck on
your pillow
the one you sleep on every evening, every single night
you must be joking when you haven't yet seen a small
birthmark on my navel
who do you think you are
I have tried to analyze it
but I haven't found an answer
it must be God's punishment
it must be fate, or an error in our computer
it's probably my imagination
since you are so near
I can smell your aftershave. I am actually crazy about it
