Vasko Popa (June 29, 1922 — January 5, 1991) was a Serbian poet of Romanian descent.
PROUD ERROR
Vasko Popa
Once upon a time there was an error
So ridiculous so minute
No one could have paid attention to it
It couldn’t stand
To see or hear itself
It made up all sorts of nonsense
Just to prove
That it really didn’t exist
It imagined a space
To fit all its proofs in
And time to guard its proofs
And the world to witness them
All that it imagined
Was not so ridiculous
Or so minute
But was of course in error
Was anything else possible

THE SUN NEVER ENDS
Vasko Popa
The streets of your glances
Have no end
The swallows of your pupils
Don’t fly south
From the aspens of your breasts
The leaves don’t fall
In the sky of your words
The sun never sets
