Visar Zhiti Quotes

When will the death
Of Death ever come?

from "The Siege

Let them shoot us in the head,
My blood will grow roots
and will blossom.

SOWING LIGHTNING

Seize
Bolts of lightning from the sky
And plant them in fields of life.

They will grow like tender sprouts of fire.
Charge somber thoughts
With unexpected flash,
You, my lightning in the soil!

TIME

Time
And how it slips through my fingers
Without putting its ring on them,

And I remain simply its lover

The forest has shrunk
And fear has expanded,
The forests have dwindled,
There are less animals now,
less courage and less lightning,
less beauty
and the moon lies bare,
deflowered by force and
then abandoned.

SECOND SUN

So much blood
Has been spent in this world,
But we have not yet built a sun of blood.

Listen, my friend,
To these trembling words:
A second sun will be born
of our blood
in the form of a heart.
