Meta Kušar

3.

You went to eavesdrop under the willow trees.
God himself rolled with
the mist which clung to the shore.
A river with no waves.
The evening smelt of warm raisin cake.
You were happy.
As you had not been in a long time.

3.

Pod vrbe si šel prisluškovat.
Sam Bog se je valil
z meglicami, ki se prijemljejo obrežja.
Reka brez vala.
Večer je dišal po topli rozinovi potici.
Bil si srečen.
Že dolgo nisi bil.
