The House by Marina Zrnic©




The irreversible, unchangeable history of our lives. 
A full plate of nuts, figs, plums, all sorts of dried fruits. 
Squeezed juices dropping, peeled skins all over my books. 

We really don’t have a house. 
I am a guest here, invited for a coffee. 
They want me to wander off. 

I live in an empty house, 
accompanied by the leaves and the autumn. 
I am a bit of a witch, still not enough. 

The air here is stuffy, in this empty house. 
I come and go as the wind blows. 
One would say I couldn’t care less, 
but I do care about the coffee. 

My dreams are made of water. 
Water in my eyes, water in my mouth. 
There is water in all corners of the house. 
I start a fire on the stairs and see it all so clearly.
