TODAY
Today there is no:
hope
mail
money
wine
Today there is some:
nothing
pity
pasta
staleness
Today is not
my day
my mood
my ground
Today Is
by all means
before tomorrow
and after something.
Today is Here.
And does not intend to
leave so easily.
Today one should not:
worry
plan
etcetera
Today one should
grieve
Today cannot
be postponed
be ignored
not be compared
Today you can:
lie the day through
bear with
drink through
That’s how it is
today
And tomorrow?
It is yesterday’s
name for Today

Zarko Samouk born in Rijeka, former Yugoslavia, in 1967. Until the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina I lived in Sarajevo, where I graduated from the Faculty of Biology. I also worked as a reporter for “Walter” weekly, and was contributing to the “Pop-Rock” music magazine.
This is absolutely beautiful poem, Zarko! Bravo!
