Martovski dan –
vetar ulazi u

dvojna šipa
iz sna so vstala
tri sončna jutra

double-glazed window
awakened from dreams
three sunny mornings

stolpnica
polžasto stopnišče
se vzpe k luni

high building
spiral stairway reaches
the moon

 

otrok je zaspal
v lužah se veter igra
s polno luno

baby fell asleep
in puddles the wind plays
with the crescent moon
