Breathing exercises
- Zvonko Taneski (North
Macedonia)
Caught firmly in the grip
with the intention of eradicating evil
we suddenly notice the footprints in the
snow.
Someone was here tonight to check
иf we were still breathing.
Wet soil offers the necessary juices
to our thirsty throats.
Wet soil offers the necessary juices
to our thirsty throats.
Yesterday we were to test on Covid
in the village twenty kilometers from here.
It is in the black zone, as are our fatal
thoughts.
No, you will try in vain
to look for it on the map,
it is enough to imagine thelush landscape
around
and the bluebirds in the fields.
They move their wings
to remind us that breathing exercises
should be done regularly.
The winter sun, though shy, will still appear
on the vault.
Look and breathe deeply,
Feel the snow melt under your feet.
But first, practice your passion for love.
