Haiku
in Serbian by
Saša
Važić, Serbia & Montenegro
Translation: author

The
moon and branches
hiding each other—
autumn wind. |
Mesec
i granje
zaklanjaju jedno drugo—
jesenji vetar.
|
| * * * |
A peasant and a horse
pause a moment
in the half-mowed meadow.
|
Seljak i konj
na dopola pokošenoj livadi
zastaše načas.
|
| * * * |
A reaper swings his arm.
From ripe cornflowers,
a cloud of petals.
|
Kosac zamahnu.
Od zrelih različaka
oblak latica.
|
| * * * |
Alone with my thoughts.
On a thin branch
a sloe starts swaying.
|
Sama sa mislima.
Na tankoj grani
zaklati se trnjina.

At the shop door
of an old shoemaker,
a spider weaves its web.
|
Na vratima radnje
starog obućara
pauk mrežu plete
|

Viewed from the bus
they seem so joyous…
slums by the muddy river
|
Posmatrane iz autobusa
čine se tako vesele...
udžerice kraj mutne reke
