    Srečko Kosovel

    Side by side

    Delirium

    Martyrdom of thoughts.
    A blue sea.
    A grey jail.
    A soldier spiking desperate thoughts
    with his bayonet
    under the window.
    Pardon me. "Never mind."
    Sigaretta.
    Eine Edison.
    I can hear the blue sea
    throbbing steadily
    at my skull.

    DELIRIJ

    DELIRIJ

    Martirij misli.
    Sinje morje.
    Siva jeca.
    Vojak nabada misli obupne
    na svoj bajonet
    pred oknom.
    Pardon. »O, nic.«
    Sigaretta.
    Eine Edison.
    Cujem sinje morje,
    ki bije enakomerno
    ob mojo lobanjo.
