Poem
Miroslav Kirin
A BEAUTIFUL THING takes place:
A BEAUTIFUL THING takes place:the evil as short as the sound.
the snow has abandoned its whiteness,
the touch its body.
in order to make a blood-
bathed body white again,
we have abandoned
our measures & persuasions:
we have afforded ourselves a joy
of being blind, deaf & dumb.
in their newly created lightness
things bounce and never come back.
© Translation: 2004, Miroslav Kirin
A BEAUTIFUL THING takes place:
NEŠTO SE KRASNO DOGAĐA:
zlo je kratko poput zvuka.
snijeg se odrekao bjeline,
dodir tijela.
a da bi tijelo umrljano
krvlju ponovno bilo
bijelo, odrekli smo se
mjerenja & uvjerenja:
priuštili smo si radost
sljepoće, gluhoće & nijemosti.
u novostvorenoj lakoći stvari
odskakuju i ne vraćaju se.
zlo je kratko poput zvuka.
snijeg se odrekao bjeline,
dodir tijela.
a da bi tijelo umrljano
krvlju ponovno bilo
bijelo, odrekli smo se
mjerenja & uvjerenja:
priuštili smo si radost
sljepoće, gluhoće & nijemosti.
u novostvorenoj lakoći stvari
odskakuju i ne vraćaju se.
