Velika Kola - Big Dipper

Winter

Abandonned train station
Clock
without hands.

Bent pillow.
Gloomy thoughts
in the misty morning.

Tough there ain't
a footprint in the snow, I open
the mailbox.

Traces of paws only
on the morning snow.
February.

The New Year's eve
is over again.
Dirty snow.


Spring

Killed a fly
on the first day
of the spring.

The snow had melted.
Only the pot remains
from the snowman's robe.

The spring rain.
Old women are mentionning
autumn.

The lonely frog
calls his darling
from another pond.

Noon in May.
the dog lies in the shade,
then again in the sun.


Summer

The Fifth of Beethoven.
somebody harmonically
knocks on the door.

A river swallow.
Fishes run away
in a car tire.

Midnight.
Round moon
over the crossroad.

The scorching heat.
A dog and a cat
together in the shade.


Autumn

Picture by the window.
It rains
both left and right.

With the ash tree
they have killed
also his shade.

Three rows of benches.
Untransparent window.
The first day of the school.

Hunting seasons.
Hounds barking.
masters barking.

Burial on the rain.
Those with umbrellas
smile.
