1. Školjkom zapisane
brige u pijesku
plima dolazi
With the shell on the sand
- all worries are registered -
the tide is rising
2. Na mostu
dječji plač zaustavlja
leptir.
On the bridge
stops a child from crying
a butterfly.
3. Duboka kaljuža
na zarobljenoj čizmi
elipsa leptira
- The deep mire -
on the prisoner-of-war boot
an ellipse of butterflies
4. Kapljica vode
među bodljama kaktusa
Duga
A drop of water
between cactus thorns
... A rainbow ...
5. Mada je sve imanje
poplavljeno spašavam
samo zečiće.
Although the whole
estate’s flooded I rescue
only the rabbits.
6. Licem u lice
stoljeća me gledaju
na tavanu.
Face to face
- centuries stare at me -
in the attic.
7. Vrijeme seobe.
Lepet krila sve je
glasniji
Time for migration.
Flutter of the wings
... louder and louder ...
8. Jutarnji ples
skakavaca u ritmu
pjesme zrikavaca.
Morning dance
of grasshoppers to the rhythm
of cicadas’ song.
9. Prevrnuo se
voz slame.
su predahnuli.
A wagon
Kotači has
of straw
tumbled down ...
Its wheels at rest.
10. Napušten otok
nitko ne misli na njega
čak ni valovi.
- Deserted island -
nobody thinking of it
not even the waves
11. Vjetar donosi lišće
skupljaju ga the leaves
brisači automobila
The wind brings
- gathers them
to the car’s window wiper
12. Plakanje neba.
Veliki sprovod kriomice
prati vrana.
The crying of the sky
a crow watches furtively
a big funeral.
13. Suho korito
tražim izvor koji nikad
ne presušuje.
- Dry bed brook -
I’m looking for the well
that will never run dry.
14. Dan bijeloga štapa.
U pukotini spomenika
procvjetala maćuhica.
White stick day.
Crack in the monument
pansies in flower.
15. Napušten ribnjak.
Jato divljih pataka
diže se i spušta
An abandoned fishpond.
A bevy of wild ducks
bobs up and down.

6. Zvono.Granatirana kapelica oživjela
na čas.
The bell.
A bombed chapel revives
for a while.
17. Mladi mjesec
osvijetlio zvjezdaču
u moru.
Young Moon
enlightened a starfish
in the sea.
18. Srpanjska tuča
polegla pšenica otkriva
bijela zvona.
– July hail -
lodged wheat shows
white bells.
19. Trudna ženica
snema koščice tikve
priziva detece.
A pregnant woman
- removing pumpkin seeds
while calling the children.
20. Zimsko jutro
guščje pero u vrtlogu
sa snježnim pahuljama.
- Winter morning -
goose’s feather in a whirl
with snowflakes.
21. Uvijek isti
vjetar – sve drveće
jednako nakrivljeno.
The wind is
always the same – all trees
are slanted.
22. Iz starog
u novi milenij lebde
snježne pahuljice.
From the old
to the new millenium
the snowflakes float.
23. Prometna gužva
kakvo je zadovoljstvo
hodati pješice.
- Rush hour -
what a pleasure
to go on foot.
