Elementi

Stvarnost je posela prostor poezije.
Pregazila je reku
O čijoj su nepristupačnosti
Govorili zamoreni plivači.
Na drugoj obali istražuju se
Elementi za opstanak.
Zemlja gubi težinu
U očima naslednika.
Oko vatri su zamrli razgovori.
Vazduh postaje provodljivi samoglasnik.
Voda klizi po nesigurnim dlanovima.
Zajedno sa tragovima snova
Nastalim pre izranjanja
U stvarnost.

Elements

Reality has occupied the space of poetry.
Crossed the river
Whose inaccessibility
Has been described by tired swimmers.
Elements of survival are explored on the other bank.
The earth loses weight
In the eyes of successors.
Conversations are extinguished around the camp fires.
The air is becoming a conductive vowel.
Water spills over insecure hand palms.
Together with the traces of dreams
Born before the emergence
Into reality.
