Svetiliste

Boja njihove odece je bledela
od crne ka beloj
to je mesto postalo svetiliste
dok su prvih godina porodice
dolazile u crnini

Kasnije je boja njihove odece osvetljavala, ozivljavala
prvi nagovestaji tople crvene i zute
kao hodocasce sa generacijama koje dolaze

Igranje u travi pred prolece sa loptama
magicno privuceni bas tim neuglednim delom ceste
posle podneva ozelenela lipa
i miris tisine, tiho, tiho

Uz ciku dece i setnju roditelja
pravi razlog postade nevazan
uspomena se pretvarala
u nesvesno privlacenje tog kraja
