three husbands i had on borneo,
on borneo!
all of them were like five men and one
my little naked baby!
they were tall, short, hairy
counties and wild dollars!
i climbed them and saw
the schemes of gods, angels' building sites,
pipes and elevators
packs of holy air stirred
capers, curcuma, cardamom, cumin and
the port of koper with 25 thousand residents!
a fish was born, they drew water for it
and said, love it!
some big-mouth italia passed
into brown, heated ocean, full of
young electricity, pearls
fell out, toads and 8 princes
together with sonnets!
i only managed to save hazelnuts
from the zvečevo candy factory,
they're on my ears and now i'm as pretty
as
pepper on egg,
saffron on rice,
at the ocean's bottom, in dream, in the dangerous
galvanized
game of poker!
husbands ate the ears!
they kept on singing like
harmless guns!
now i'm naked!
i have to get up the palm tree, reach the coconut,
i'll throw my arms around it like the first widow,
allergy, allegory, cosmetics and
jurisprudence
in india!
three husbands i had on borneo,
on borneo!
