KONCERT V NARAVI
ona s pločevinastimi nogami
s peščenimi urami v ustih akvarijem v glavi
on z vsemi stopnišči mesta na rami
pod roko s srcem ki se lahko navije in ustavi
odpreta knjigo in iščeta pot
kjer je nebo voda in cvetni log
kjer ni znojnega papirja in tipajočih oči
ampak kot v kinu lepo ptič žvrgoli
ona razstavi noge akvarij odkrije
in začne loviti ribe
on se na stopnišča povzpne in srce navije
pesek ur goli telesi zalije
ribe švignejo skoz njune žile
v krvavih škrgah skrivajo mračne nagibe

OPEN-AIR CONCERT
she with tin legs
hourglass in mouth aquarium in her head
he with all the towns’ staircases on his back
under his arm a heart that can be wound up or stopped
they open a book and look for a road
to water sky and blossoming grove
where there is no sweating paper no fumbling eyes
where like in a B picture pretty birds twitter
she opens her legs unlocks the aquarium
starts hunting for fish
he climbs the stairs and winds his heart up
nude bodies drown in sand from the hourglass
fish flick through their veins
with dark designs concealed in their bloody gills
