Throw into the little box
A stone
You’ll take out a bird
Throw in your shadow
You’ll take out the shirt of happiness
Throw in your father’s root
You’ll take out the axle of the universe
The little box works for you
Throw into the little box
A mouse
You’ll take out a quaking hill
Throw in your head
You’ll take out two
The little box works for you
(Vasko Popa)
