Haiku

Molk

pismo molčeče
nikóli dostavljeno
nikóli oddano

Silence

still unsaid unsent
silent letters to you
never delivered

Schweigen

Schweigende Briefe
Niemals aufgegebene
Nie gelieferte

 

Written and translated by Dagmar Travner

In the train

train’s steady flow
vanishing landscapes, leaving
moving to white fields

sleepily thinking of you
reaching out my hand towards
the empty place by my side
knowing your thoughts
are not longer with me

gentle zephyr
fugacious kiss
touching lips

entangled hands
playful caresses
deep ardour

your embrace
surrounding me

dreaming – night walk through
landscapes of otherness
your hand in mine
come, listen to heartbeats
feel my tune, see my thoughts

So strange to find

this special ink in my notebook
reading the traces of your fountain pen
written down by my own hand.

Do you remember
this blink of a moment…

German version: Anmerkung eines Augenblicks
