hidden
fruit-pickers -
the song travels
through the fog ...
|
skriveni
berači -
a pjesma putuje
kroz maglu ...
|
| * * * |
early morning;
in the fog on the road
steps and fear |
rano jutro;
cestom kroz maglu
koraci i strah |
| * * * |
willows by the brook
like ghosts
in the dense fog |
uz potok vrbe
kao prikaze
u gustoj magli |
| * * * |
with a rushing car
the fog disperses...
returns
|
juri auto
rastjerana magla
vraća se ...
