Trenutak / The Moment

---

Roj komaraca
lebdi, kruži, zuji
i hrli nikamo.

----
 

Seosko groblje.
Með’ borovima Mjesec.
Miris bosiljka.

----------------

Planina izlazi
iz magle, borovo stablo
iz planine.

-------

Prekreæuæi lišæe
oluja rasvjetljava
krošnje jablana.

-----

Na mjeseèini
list što pada i sjena mu
na tlu sjedinjeni.

----------------
 

Crno-bijeli
crtež: šuma
u snijegu.

-----------------

Gusta i svježa
djetelina – odakle taj
suhi list?

------------------
 

Titrava sjena
neke vlati trave, tu,
na drugoj vlati.

----------------

Proljetni pljusak:
zatim, od svake kapi
šumska jagoda.
 

---

A flock of mosquitoes
floating, circling, buzzing
and hurrying nowhere.

----
 

Village cemetery.
Between pine-trees the Moon.
Sweet basil’s scent.

----------------

A mountain coming
out of the fog. A pine-tree
out of the mountain.

-------

Turning their leaves,
the storm brightens
poplar-trees.

-----

In bright moonlight
a falling leaf and its shadow
meet on the soil.

----------------
 

Black-and-white
drawing: a forest
in snow.

-----------------

It is dense and fresh
this clover – so whence comes
this yellow dry leaf?

------------------
 

A trembling shadow
of a blade of grass
on another blade.

----------------

A spring shower:
and then, each drop turns into
a wild strawberry.
