i started writing
poems in serbian
and i discovered
a whole new side to me.

i can not wait
to start writing poems
in italian, german, and greek.

i started writing poetry in serbian
in a separate instagram account.
soon i will start writing poetry in italian.
and later maybe in german.

my ultimate goal is
that people from every culture
tell me that my poems are not poems,
but are actually basic sentences
with random line breaks.

english is for the future
german is for the past
italian and greek are for pleasure
serbian is for my family

i am italian
because i care about italy
and i like pasta,
and i do not need
anyone else to tell me
if i am italian or not.
i am also a serb, a missourian,
and a south african.

giorgia is the last hope
of dying grandparents
living in dying towns

gianni versace
is the most italian man
to ever exist
in the future and in the past
and every man is
less italian than gianni

we still have not decided
where we will live
after our kids leave us.
should we stay close to them?
should we live in a cabin in the woods?
should we live in the flat in which i grew up?
should we move around and explore?
should we live on a beach?
should we live in an italian village?
we have no idea.
email me suggestions.
