Pjesma o Pjesmi A Poem about the Poem
Zamislite pjesmu, pjesmu bez rime, Pjesmu kakvu spjevao bi sami ples, Zamislite pjesmu bez ritma i pravila, Da su riječi nježne kapi smisla, Zamislite pjesmu skrivenu slovima, A da joj niti jedan skriven značaj nije ravan, Zamislite pjesmu koja ne teče i koja nema kraja, Zamislite prozor u zidu stvarnosti, Zvuk uzvišeni na papiru.
Imagine a poem — a poem without rhyme, A poem the dance itself might compose, Imagine a poem without rhythm or rule, Where the words are tender drops of meaning, Imagine a poem hidden in letters, With no hidden meaning a match for it, Imagine a poem that does not flow and has no end, Imagine a window in the wall of the real, A high sound on paper.
