sea tavern by Anita Horvat (notion reading list txt) 📕

Tavern


We meet in a tavern
it is an old place
where everybody rests,
I hate it,
I can't stand it
I go there against my will.
I share my thoughts with
people that stare in me
like I am a dog left outside
on the alley.
Who are they to judge me?
I have nothing.
I am a person.
I have me to blame for anything.
I don't need them to stare in me.
I am a person.
Left in this universe.
Alone.


Cup and you


After a cup or two
we will be alone.
In a room with sun
we will watch the sea
we will be on the island
you will tell me everything
about your new lover
and I will listen
I will smile
you want see
how well I can smile
with tears in my soul.
Cup of tea
and you
that's all I have today.
A cold of both
is in me.
On me.
Me. Always me.
How boring.
Me.
You. You. You.
Why can't you see the sorrow?
Can't you tell my friend
is there a new love for me?
No. I want ask you. Shut up.
Do not say.
I want to look at the sea and lie to you and me.
How beautiful you are.


Joe


Joke is on you.
Joke is on the stars.
Joe.
Joe. Joe.
Your love is gone.
The wind is left
not straight, where
are you going?
You have no way.
You are a loser, Joe.
Joe. Joe.
How to care about you?
How to care about you?
Your boat is sinking.
You are sinking.
You are made of wood.
Where is your world?
No where.
You are hope.
For yourself.
I will tell you.
Love is everything.
With love you will not be a loser, Joe.
Joe. Come home.


Richard


He has me.
In a hand, in his eyes.
He has me.
When we stand.
When we dance.
He has me.
Richard.
I love that name.


Sea


Did you ever love the sea the way I do?
Have you seen it in the autumn
when winds put the string of salt on the waves
and dance through it?
Did you hear the song of sea?
Do you feel salt even when the whole world is sleeping?
No.
No.
No.
Yes I did.
I felt the sea.
The stones.
The hotness.
It is close.
It is close.
I share it with you.
In this words.
The sea is a coat of water
the wind is a smile of sorrow.
The salt is a sand. A sand.
Yes a sand across the sky.
You drown in it. Swimm.
In this life you must be a swimmer.
A winner.
You are. You are.
