Cvijeće u vazi
promatra buru
kako bjesni...

The flowers in the vase
are watching the storm
raging around...

Mjesec silazi
niz oštre litice
sav u Neretvi.

The Moon is descending
down the sharp rocks,
whole in Neretva.

Seljak na njivi
u žile ljute paprike
ukopava znoj.

A peasant in the field
in the veins of red-pepper
is planting his sweat.

Posrće, pada
diže se, pada - kozle
na kamenjaru

Stumbling, falling
getting up, falling - a kid
on the rocky paths.

Nabivši Mjesec
na rogove - važan je
jarac na litici

Impaling the Moon
on his horns - billy-goat
on a bluff, feels important.

Huči Neretva.
Vrbe u prvim resama
šeću obalom

The roaring of Neretva.
Willows in their first fringes
walking along the river-side.

Plove oblaci
utrobom rijeke....
Nepomičan mjesec

The clouds are sailing
through the river's womb..
The motionless Moon.

Razbijen fenjer.
Sve mušice pohrliše
k drugom...

One broken lantern.
All the flies swarmed
to another one...
