VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Milenko Županović

Light

The sins

of the ancestors 

in the cell of monastery

a prayer of life

in the light

of the resurrection.

Dawn

At the bottom

of the ocean 

the dreams 

of a lonely church

on the Day of Judgment

at the dawn 

of a new time.

Desert

In the desert,

an abandoned church 

cries 

out to the gods

in the darkness 

of time.
