Dritëro Agolli-Wait up, I’m coming quickly!”

Wait up, I’m coming quickly!”

If a disease would affect me,
I need no hospital or daycare,
In peace take me secretly,
Up on mountains somewhere.


With no mattress and no bed
Neither sheets nor quilt in shack,
By the source or spring instead
Lay some oaks and the lilac.


Tie my head with a clematis,
Let my lips in spring get wet,
Butterfly come with no hiss
Let her rest on my forehead

.
I need no nurse sit by me,
Neurologist or a professor,
Let a ram beside to be,
A he-goat closer and closer.


Then the ram let lick my cheek,
Let the spotty goat implode,
Skewbald bird to low its beak,
Draft a telegram in morse code.


Let the peasant wait in mope
Bored to lean on a stick low,
Chewing leaves of grass on slope,
Picking up the bluish sloe.

From the trough of the oak tree
Let the bees fly out in swarm,
On my body in bleary
Like a ball that twirls in storm.


And the traveler to stop by,
Silently smoking a cigar,
To say; “you no longer lie,
Road for you weeps, avatar!”


And I swear to all of you,
I will raise great, cool an’ healthy,
To the road, I started through
Say: “wait up, I’m coming quickly!”
