TOGA DANA

Toga dana kad su odredili da nestanem
Već sam ih čekala.
Bila sam korak naprijed,
Korak iza,
Bila sam svugdje oko njih.
U pomutnji svoga postojanja
Nisu opazili, nisu shvatili
Da ih puštam
Da ne vide
Kako sam
U njima.

Kristina Šubašić, 7.5.2023.

THAT DAY

That day when they ordered me to disappear
I was already waiting for them.
I was one step ahead,
A step behind,
I was everywhere around them.
In the confusion of their existence
They did not notice, did not grasp
That I’m letting them
Not to see
That I am
In them.

UTOČIŠTE

Ne možeš li
Zaspati
Ogrnut ću te
Plaštem
Svoje usnulosti

REFUGE

Can't you
fall asleep?

I'll wrap you
in the mantle of
my sleepiness

Uvodni tekst za Paletu bliskosti: Odrazi poezije u slici – likovna interpretacija stiha

U ovogodišnjem nastavku projekta „Paleta bliskosti“ Stjepan Perković likovno interpretira poeziju Kristine Šubašić. Prepuštajući se pokretačkom impulsu pjesničke riječi, autor stvara novu seriju slika u kojoj se riječi i stihovi, boje i slike ulijevaju u jedno korito, stvarajući jedinstvenu umjetničku rijeku koja traži put do svojih ušća.

Projekt je sufinanciran sredstvima Ministarstva kulture i medija Republike Hrvatske.

Introductory text for Palette of Closeness: Reflections of Poetry in Painting – Visual Interpretation of Verse

In this year's continuation of the project "Palette of Closeness", Stjepan Perković visually interprets the poetry of Kristina Šubašić. Surrendering to the driving impulse of the poetic word, the author creates a new series of paintings in which words and verses, colours and images flow into one bed, creating a unique artistic river that seeks its way to its confluence.

The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia.

1. SKUPLJAM

Skupljam krhotine sna
Čekajući novi dolazak dana
U kojem opet neću te naći.
U ovom polusnu
S tvojom rukom na ramenu
Znam da oboje smo tu
U istom trenu, istom vremenu.
A kad otvorim oči
Znat ću da stigao je dan
U kojem ponovo
Neću te naći.

Kristina Šubašić

1. I COLLECT

I collect the fragments of a dream
Waiting for the new day arrival
In which again I will not find you.
In this half-sleep
With your hand on my shoulder
I know that we are both here
At the same moment, at the same time.
And when I open my eyes
I will know that the day has come
In which again I will not find you.

6 Tvoje oči/Your eyes

Tvoje oči

Tvoje oči
Su u ljubavi
Sa mnom
Ogledam se
U pogledu tvojem
O, vidim moćnu ljepotu
Kojom me krase
Oči tvoje

Kristina Šubašić, 10.5.2023.

Your eyes

Your eyes
Are in love
With me
I look at myself
In your gaze
Oh, I see the powerful beauty
With which
Your eyes adorn me
