Home
following my shadow ... look, a dandelion where its heart is
sledim svoji senci glej regrat je tam kjer imam srce
turning up my collar ... wind overtakes me on both sides
zaviham ovratnik veter me prehiti z obeh strani
lying idle in the pine shadow a donkey and me
lenariva v senci borovcev osel in jaz
mraz do kosti za visokim macesnom glas prepelice
chilled to the bone - behind the tall larch the cry of a quail
v žilah plamtí goreče poželenje spretnih oglasov
burning in the veins an eager passion of tricky advertisements
svež kruh zadiši - nekoč so mati prekrižali vsak hleb
the smell of fresh bread - once mother blessed every loaf
deep blue eyes on the train still a child - she turned away
na vlaku temnomodre oči nje, ki je še otrok - obrnila se je proč
krik vrane raztrga sinjino
the cry of a crow tears apart the blue sky
pred dežjem ... veter obarva popoldne belo in črno
before the rain ... wind colours the afternoon white and black
srkam medico s tremi prijatelji - četrti nedosegljiv
sipping mead three friends and I - the fourth is unreachable
prijateljev nasvet - na križpotju nenadna tema
a friend's advice - at the crossroads sudden darkness
sledim črti na poti k obliki
following a line on the way to my shape
Nenaden pogled. Medla svetloba. Okus nevihte.
Glance. Pale light. Taste of a storm.
sončno popoldne zasnežene Alpe lepše kot na sliki
sunny afternoon snowy Alps more beautiful than their picture
the wind is whistling - in the empty cup of tea still the scent of mint
veter žvižga - v prazni skodelici za čaj še diši meta
nad mano nebo ob meni drevo - le jaz sem odveč
sky above me by me a tree - only I am redundant
starka primakne roko k cvetu in mu nekaj reče
old woman touches a flower and says a word
v ušesih so ptice v pogledu regrati pod kožo še dotiki
birds in my ears dandelions in my sight his touches still under my skin
ptice letijo ... hiše izginejo v objem smrti
birds flying ... houses disappear in death
(tsunami '04)
ledeno jutro bus polepljen čez in čez z Marilyn Monroe
icy morning the bus covered all over with Marilyn Monroe
