1.AGON
While coasts are arguing
The waters shall flow peacefully.
2.MINERS
They've walked into hell to find the injustice
By which they could warm up.
3.THE SEA WITHOUT A POET
You wait to adapt to words
But there's no such poet
Or a name completely free.
Oh bitter, oh blind sea
In love with the shipwreck.
4.EPITAPH
A word too harsh killed me.
5.FLOWER
There goes a flower brave enough to smell
In an empty place and inside a memory.
6.SONG
An illusion breaches into the word
A fire worthy of spring
7.THE SONG AND THE TITLE
The song and the title make love
For a while, and then
They hate each other and each sings their own.
8.STONE
A stone, too, can become a bird and fly away
But soon enough it regrets what it has done and eats its wind-made wings
9.SLEEPERS
The awake I steal what they're dreaming
10.LOVERS
To a body, another body's the cure
Like a night which repeats
Like a word which repeats
Like goodnight
! All of these songs together make an excerpt titled "The brave flower" from Branko's 1960 book "The origin of hope"
