Svega se sjecam

Ako je to sve, svega se sjećam,
i kuća razbacanih u ono što se ne čuje,
i dječjeg govora, stiješnjenog, opsjednutog

u vrtu, medju jagodama
ugrizi života,
praštate li, dakle, najjednostavnije

Te oči uske !
Nije zaboravljeno !

Ubit će sve što volim,
čitam s materine ruke,
suhoća svijeta, riječi idu preko vode,
takav je to grad, razoren u predmete
Jedan po jedan
Toliko je ostalo od doma

I Remember Everything

If this is all, I remember everything,
houses scattered into what can not be heard,
children's speech, squeezed, possessed

in the garden, among the strawberries
bites of life,
do you forgive then, in the simplest way

Those narrow eyes!
It is not forgotten!

She will kill everything I love,
read from my mother's hand,
the dryness of the world, words go across the water,
this is such a city, destroyed into objects
One by one
So much remained from home
