Biti do pojasau vodi: ni čovjek
niti - riba.
To be waist-deep
in water: neither man
nor fish.

Jutarnji gostotresa snijeg sa svog
istrošenog kaputa.
The morning guest
shaking down the snow
off his worn out coat.
3.
Sred prazna gradagladne žrtve rata
hrane golubove.
In the deserted town
hungry war victims
feed the pigeons.

Uništen prostorvjetar se zaustavio
pod divljim kestenom.

Razoren grad.Vjetar zavija ne znajući
kuda bi krenuo.
Destroyed town.
The wind howls not knowing

Sjene plešu posjenama. Vjetar je
stao na zidu.
The shadows dancing
over the shadows. The wind
stopped on the wall.

Vjetar u šašu.Divlje guske gledaju
u vodu
Wind in the reed.
The wild geese look
... into the water ...

Lišće treperiPepeljast oblak na nebu
nigdje ne stiže.
... The leaves fluttering ...
The ashy cloud in the sky
arriving nowhere.

I ovaj se dannasmijao do suza
u žuboru potoka.
Even this day
laughs to the point of tears
in the murmur of the brook.

Seoska stazatri leptira lete
u tišinu.
A village path
three butterflies flying
into silence.

Bijeli se zidpopeo po bršljanu
i više od njega!
The white wall
climbed up the ivy ... Even
higher than it!
12.
Ovog vjetrovitogdana valovi jedre
a jedrilice stoje
Throughout this windy day
the waves are sailing
... and the sailboat stands still ...

Na vrhu dimnjakaptica, na vrhu ptice
nebo.
On the top of the

of the bird - the sky.

Mrkla noć.Ukopani u snijegu
duhovi stabala.
Dead of night.

Ovaj je malizumbul zamirisao
cijeli moj dan.
This little hyacinth
gave scent to all
my-day.

Sova hučimjesec polako jedri niz
vjetrovitu noć.

the moon slowly sailing
down the windy night.

Prostrana poljavjetar valuje pjesmu
jedne ševe.
- Spacious fields -
the wind waving to the song
of a skylark.

Preko srpanjskihpolja šetaju - makovi
i šareni šeširići.
Across May’s field
walking - the poppies and
the little mottled hats.

Kokoši su ponosnena kokota, a on na
svoju krestu.
The hens are proud
of the rooster, and he is
proud of his crest.

U tihoj noćisamo vodopad
ne može zaspati.
In the silent night
only the waterfall
can’t fall asleep.
