“Here lie Krkša and Kalija in their
noble land in Ključ.
We loved one another and married for love
and the Lord gave us many children.
And then twenty years after our first October
the rainbow we watched we saw in two ways,
with two wishes, each our own.
And we wondered how our life together drew us
farther apart than we were before.
But I loved him more than anything and
when Krkša died, my heart followed his that
same day and I died too.
Do not overturn this stone, for our moonlit bones
still argue over who was right and who was
not and in our death we are more strangers than
in life. But if you were to part our bones, we
would die alone our final deaths.
In 1447 when the Stjepan Toma Ostojić was the King of
all Bosnia.”
