1. pogrbljen mesec
naslonio leđa
na krhke grane
stooped Moon
his back leaning
onto the frail boughs
2. na smetlištu
odbačene stvari
pere jesenja kiša
in the garbage dump
Autumn rain washing
the discarded things
3. val za valom
bregovi izrone
iz sumaglice
... wave after wave ...
the hills pop up
from the mist
4. srušenu kuću
davno utihlog rata
opkolio narcis
only daffodils
around the empty ruins
of the passed war
5. leptir na zidu
leprša s vjetrom
iako mrtav
a butterfly on the wall
fluttering on the breeze
although dead
6. stope u snijegu:
netko je vidio
čistu bjelinu
Footprints in the snow:
somebody has seen
immaculate whiteness
7. u kolijevci
punoj mjesečine
pliva beba
in a craddle
filled with moonlight
a swimming baby
