U RUKAMA MOG DEDE

Sećam se...
U rukama mog dede
Svetli skinuti
Sjaj sa pluga.
On hita
Ka sunčanim daljinama
Gde neumorno
Seje i žanje
Hleb naš nasušni.
Sad ostareo i krezub
Kraj ognjišta
Melje unucima nežnosti.


Grandfathers Hands

I remember
in the hands of my grandfather
a gleam taken from the plough
radiated. He hurried
toward the sunny distance
where tirelessly
he sewed and reaped
our daily bread.
Now old and toothless
beside the hearth
he grinds tenderness
to his grandchildren.




NOV OPAŽAJ

Za izlet
Ne traži (više) oslonce
Učvrsti most
Beskrajnog prisustva.
Ne oklevaj
Na raskrsnicama života
Ima i dalje puta
Ne pristaj
Ponad sunca
Da te što manje biva.
Za novi nauk
Za novi prelaz
I za onu stranu
Sine čovečiji!
Neka se još za tobom
Vatra pesme praši.


New Knowledge

For an outing
do not look (anymore) for support
straighten the bridge
of the eternal presence.
Do not linger
on the crossroads of life
there are more roads left
under the sun
do not accept
to shrink.
For the new knowledge
for the new crossing
for the other side
Son of the Man!
After you, may
the flame of a poem leave trace.
