1. obojila hrđa
ključeve obješene
davno pod strehom

rusty colored
the keys hung
below the eaves long ago

2. iznad potoka
stado vilinih konjica
odlazi k suncu

above the brook
a flock of dragonflies
heads toward the Sun

3. šuma pod maglom
iznova prolazi zvuk
konjskih kopita

forest under the fog
 sound of horse’s hoofs
passing by again

4. uskomešala
se plava oranica:
njiše morsku travu

a blue ploughed field
agitate;
the waving of the seaweed

5. u mrtvačnici
na praznom odru počiva
meka prašina

on an empty
hearse rests
a soft dust
