The Love Songs of Slobodan Milosevic

In the snows
of Sarajevo

Such a lovely place
to kill.

Don’t you know
the ground is melting

still so may graves
to fill ?

*

Listen: Mother Earth
is singing

Like a woman
in a cell

hungry soon she’ll smoke
our shriveled

souls like cigarettes
from hell.

*

In this place
there is no grieving

breath is life
and death is birth

underneath the ground
She’s breathing

Don’t you understand
her thirst

*

Blood does not remember
violence

Only Christ will
judge my worth

Maybe soon He'll
give us silence

Until then, let's feed
the earth
