Poem
Dane Zajc
Unutterable Unwritten
unutterable unwrittenembedded in the mystery of the world
the vicinity of its eyes
it comes all of a sudden
it drinks you
it sips yours
and you its eyes
an elongated moment
erasing all that was
will be
what you\'ve done what you\'ve seen
a desert comes
staggering comes
then suddenly it lunges
it spreads itself out
the shroud of the irrevocable
you know you should not invoke it
nor whisper it
you know you\'ll kill it
destroy it - word
I said wrote uttered it
it that is the reminiscence of finality

Neizgovorljiva nezapisana
Neizgovorljiva nezapisana
neizgovorljiva nezapisanazakamnjena v skrivnost sveta
blizina njenih oèi
ki naenkrat pride
ki pije tvoje
ki srka tvoje
ki ti njene oèi
v razpotegnjenem trenutku
ko zgine kar je bilo
kar bo
kar si delal kar videl
pride pušèava
pride opotekanje
naenkrat plane
naenkrat se razprostre
mrtvaški prt dokonènosti
veš da je ne smeš poklicati
tudi ne zašepetati
veš da jo boš ubil
da bos unièil besedo
rekel zapisal izrekel sem jo
ki je spomin na blizino konènosti
