selo još spava -
putem kraj crkve ide
sanjivo pseto

the village asleep
along the path by the church
a sleepy puppy

 

gola ledina -
cirkus je otišao
rano u zoru


naked wasteland
circus was gone -
the crack of dawn

 

sa hladnim vetrom
proleće sve - latice,
lišće, proleće

everything flies by
along with the cold wind-
petals, leaves, and spring

 

cveće i deca
sve je u travi čak i
Uskršnja jaja

flowers and children -
everything is on the grass
even Eastern eggs

 

Alenka Zorman

sončenje zgoraj brez
na njeni dojki
senca dlani

topless sunbath
on her breast
the silhouette of a hand

 

isto morje
vsak val
v svojem tonu

the same sea
each wave
in its tune

 

huda vročina
prejmem razglednico
s snežakom

summer heat
I get the postcard
with a snowman

 

oseka -
majceno morje
še v mojem popku

ebb tide -
a small sea only
in my navel

 

pošiljam SMS -
decek spušča
milne mehurčke

typing SMS -
a boy flying
soap bubbles

 

pred nevihto
deček z metuljnico
lovi veter

before the storm
a boy with the butterfly net
catching wind
