Andriana Škunca

Side by side

Original language

Ewe

        Fallen silent against the wall it makes another – a lower wall.

        Rain drizzles into its open eyes.

        It rinses the landscape.

Ovca

Ovca

Utihla uza zid tvori još jedan
– niži.

Kiša joj sipi u otvorene oči.

Ispire krajolik.
