Branko Miljkovic - I dreamt her of stone

May your white swans dream of crystal lakes,

but don't trust the sea which chases and tempts us.

Spaces are dreamt of by an invisible strength to whom

the sunflowers bow

do you see, turned to the forgotten days

in the darkness?


You're loved by three worlds you're being burned by three fires. And we're

walking before the hope which is being chased by

wandering deserts.

We're the ones who made everything up and wound up alone,

oh woman of holy marble the white solace they're

praying to.


On the sonant coasts where the ancient sea ends

you forebode with a heart of stone: the air is a big miracle.

May the sun's beauty last until the very last dream, up

towards the tops which lost our trace. But don't easily

trust that sea which chases and tempts us.

Dream of crystal lakes in the dark.
