PSYCHIC RETREAT 2024

Psychic retreat is most of all about freedom, it is an
intimate retreat into the unseen life, into an unlived life. Poetry is a
way of digesting the world, of recycling and growing a subjectivity
that found a home into a foreign language. To give voice to one's
thoughts, feelings, and dreams was so dangerous behind the Iron Curtain,
where the author was born and raised. Poetry has become a vital habit, a
safe space for a self who meets the world with wonder, pain, delight,
fear, with curiosity and passion.


You float like an enchanted nebula in my mind,

pass like the clouds inside my veins,

are the easiness of breathing in my dreams

you forget me for millions of seconds in the imaginary time

you are more real than reality itself in your spontaneous combustion

so that I destroy you each day inside my bones,

I ignite the narrative of dawn, the blueness of your ribs

I forget about you like I forget crying in the aliveness of lovers

I need to forget you like one forgets faraway explosions, storms and

miracles because I love you with all the songs of the wind,

the wind that spreads the seeds further away from each other the

same way the flow of mystery so precise is caring us further and

further away towards ourselves
