GRAPE

To follow the cows from
A to B is a complicated
mathematical problem
for boys seven or
nine years old.
 
Dust brushed up
with cows tails and
sticks in their hands
are just a letter
now.
 
Marko Peić, barkeeper
from Gunja, serves
grape juice for the boys,
a pergola is an unreal
stage, ring on
his hand a sign
for future happiness
out of grasp and –
 
and then all disappear.  

GROŽĐE

GROŽĐE

Pratiti krave od točke
A do točke B složen
je matematički problem
za dječake od sedam ili
devet godina.
 
Prašina s kojom se
bore kravlji repovi i
štapovi u njihovim
rukama sada su samo
slovo.
 
Marko Peić, gunjanski 
gostioničar, iznosi pred 
dječake sok od grožđa, 
odrina je nestvarna
pozornica, prsten na
njegovoj ruci znak
neuhvatljive buduće
sreće i –
 
i onda sve to nestane.
