Simply Satisfying
Sitting side by side with other spectators,
slowly studying the suggestions
of Serbian specialties,
I sink into soul-searching.
Sacrifices, self-sufficiency, solitude,
all in the sounds of straightforward,
seen and unseen syllables,
swiftly switching to seminal suppositions and speculations,
saying, not saying, spying
on self-assurance, self-confidence, self-consciousness.
Straying or staying solid on self-determination?
Sizable sigh.
Sufficient supply of sustenance,
secure smooth sociable sailing
through space and seconds
in such a specific situation.
Snow smiling on the surface
while setting off.
So long!
