An abject
by Jelena Savić

     
    I would eat all the flowers angrily,
    and significant, slide on a violin key in pumpkin soup.
    The snow, let the snow snow and frost! Now! Camera!
    I would make a better piece, use my voice, video, clips, but I have no time, no resources.
    Scarcity of my world.
    Silence behind the mirror.
    I am an abject.
