fell to the bottom
of the deep night

rustle of the river
carrying down the stream
a cricket’s chirping
18. ispunio
prazne krošnje u vrtu
jedan cvrkut
filling
empty tree-tops in the garden
a lone warble

klima glavom
svemu što vidi

nodding with his head
to everything he sees

za vjetrom poleti
snježni oblak

posuta mirisom
šljivina cvijeta
path down the hill
sprinkled by the fragrance
of the plum blossoms

četiri mala oka
zajedno šute
a bird’s nest
four tiny eyes
silent together

po bijelom zidu kuće
sjena vrapca
jumping
over a house’s white wall
a sparrow’s shadow

pogledom lovi
sjenu u travi
a cat by the window
her eyes catching
a shadow in the grass
25. razbudili se
tek u jutarnoj rosi

the toes
waking up barely
in the morning dew
26. mjesečina
smrznute sjene

u tišini mora
zvon zvonika

of the sea

po površini mjeseca
iglice bora
scattered
across the moon’s surface
needles of the pine

preleti kroz maglu
jutarnje sunce
blinking
the morning sun flies
through the fog

gola ljubav
vrabaca
in bare bushes
the naked love
of the sparrows
