Gedicht
Dane Zajc
Did you see anything when you undressed her
Did you see anything when you undressed herWhen you undressed her blind
Night butterflies broke into crystals
They were masked robbers
Did you see her stepping out of the split crystal
Did you see her in the blue lightning
Did you see her in the ozone cloud
Did you smell her in your brain
Did you smell her in your spine
Did all the stairways of your body surge
from her scent
Did you hear her
when with a highpitched
when with a hoarse
when with the all of the above sound
when she screamed
Did you hear her farewell when she stepped into
the crystal
When she locked herself in the crystal
You lay on sheets
You lay on your stomach
You felt strong you felt lucent you felt you were
blood you felt
You heard the night butterflies\' blood
the dark rustling in the dark
You saw sheet lightning in the rustling
the golden glitter of the burglarized crystals
the crystals\' soul in the blood of night butterflies

Did you see anything when you undressed her
Si kaj videl ko si jo slaèil
Si jo slep slaèil
So noèni metulji vlamljali kristale
So bili zakrinkani vlomilci
Si jo videl ko je stopila iz razklanega kristala
Si jo videl v plavem blisku
Si jo videl v oblaku ozona
Si jo vonjal v mozganih
Si jo vonjal v hrbtenici
So zagomazela vsa stopnišèa zivota
od njenega vonja
Si jo slišal
ko je z visokim
ko je s hripavim
ko je z vse obenem glasom
ko je zavpila
Si slišal ko se je v kristal poslavljala
Ko se je v kristal zaprla
Si lezal na rjuhah
Si lezal na trebuhu
Si èutil da si moèen si èutil da si svetel da si kri si èutil
Si slišal kri noènih metuljev
temno šumenje v temi
Si videl v šumenju bliskavico
zlato svetlikanje vlomljenih kristalov
dušo kristalov v krvi noènih metuljev
Si jo slep slaèil
So noèni metulji vlamljali kristale
So bili zakrinkani vlomilci
Si jo videl ko je stopila iz razklanega kristala
Si jo videl v plavem blisku
Si jo videl v oblaku ozona
Si jo vonjal v mozganih
Si jo vonjal v hrbtenici
So zagomazela vsa stopnišèa zivota
od njenega vonja
Si jo slišal
ko je z visokim
ko je s hripavim
ko je z vse obenem glasom
ko je zavpila
Si slišal ko se je v kristal poslavljala
Ko se je v kristal zaprla
Si lezal na rjuhah
Si lezal na trebuhu
Si èutil da si moèen si èutil da si svetel da si kri si èutil
Si slišal kri noènih metuljev
temno šumenje v temi
Si videl v šumenju bliskavico
zlato svetlikanje vlomljenih kristalov
dušo kristalov v krvi noènih metuljev
