Vasko Popa The Admirers of the Little Box Sing little box Don’t let sleep overcome you The entire world wakes within you In your squared emptiness We turn remoteness into closeness Oblivion into remembrance Don’t let your nails loosen Through your keyhole For the first time we behold Views outside this world We turn your key in our mouths Swallow letters and numbers From your song Don’t let your lid fly open Your bottom drop Sing little box
