spiders

1.

spiders bring neither luck
nor mishap here they
just exist and cast
no poisonous shadows (although
their dance looks like a flight
of death) anyone can check that
entering the south
room
in summer

spider watching
as a special kind
of reading demands skill
and a particular perspective
(for example, lying on your back
and looking up)
a lot of solitude
patience and time
and the hunt can start
even if you have to pay to become
hunter or game

pauci

pauci

1.

ovdje pauci ne nose
ni sreću ni nesreću oni
naprosto postoje i ne bacaju
otrovne sjene (premda
njihov ples djeluje kao let
smrti) u što se može uvjeriti
svatko tko
ljeti uđe
u južnu sobu

promatranje pauka
kao osobita vrsta
čitanja zahtijeva umješnost
i posebnu perspektivu
(recimo ležeći na leđima
gledati uvis)
mnogo samoće
strpljenja i vremena
i lov mirno
može početi
pa i po cijenu uživljavanja
u lovce ili lovine
