carried by the wind
a butterfly drops
in a dandelions' sea.

gleda u nebo
podšišani maslačak -
eh, vetar, vetar

 

looking at the sky
dandelions with haircuts
oh, that wind, that wind

 

čuje se tok-tok
nije detlić - to pada
zrelo kestenje

 

"Knock - knock!" -
there is not a woodpecker
ripe chestnuts fall down

on the beach - -
my hands touch the sea
the sea wets my shoes

na obali
se dotaknem morja - morje
mi zmoči čevlje

 

seminar o odnosih
med ljudmi - pogrešam
njegov SMS


seminar on
Human Relations - - I miss
his SMS

 

postelja za dva -
na blazini ob meni
le mesečina


bed for two - -
on the pillow beside me
only moonlight

 

pošiljam SMS
prelet
galebov


sending SMS - -
flying over
seagulls

 

sama na pomolu -
nekaj metrov bližje
obzorju


alone on the pier - -
some meters closer
to the horizon

 

ližem sladoled -
veter prinese
okus po soli

licking my icecream
wind brings me
taste of salt

glow of the sun
father's eyes in the furrow
full of butterflies

 

staggering in the park
tipsy with the whiteness
of early chestnuts

 

river --
the night illumated
by two moons

 

Visnjislav Mikadeak
Yugoslavia

 

Evening game-
a boy and a girl
feeding a doll.

 

Cellar`s window-
from outside big shoes
guiding small ones.

 

I peel onion.
As on father`funeral
tears run.

 

Eating a cherry-
slap of child`s hands
before the worm.


By the crashed bridge
a man dressed in white
seeks out radiation.
