konjanik
a horseman - brandishing
na trgu vitla sabljom
his sabre on the square
neumorno
tirelessly
jeka rzanja–
an echo of neighing–
iz duboke trave
ears and the mane peering
izviruju uši i griva
from a deep grass
noć bez mjeseca–
moonless night–
njištanje konja otjeralo
horse’s neighing sent away
konjokradicu
iz staje
a rustler from the stable
noć mjesečine
moonlight
konj bez jahača jezdi
a horse without rider riding
crnom livadom
over a black meadow
crni gavrani,
black ravens,
crnobijele svrake
black and white magpies
na lešu konja
on the corpse of the horse
saonice na konjsku vuču

II. svjetskog rata
since World War II
kočijaša mrtvačkih kola
the hearse coachman
na groblje vozi
drawn to the cemetery
njegov konj
by his horse
griva vranca
black horse's mane
upija
svom snagom
with all its strenght inhales
proljetnu mjesečinu
the spring moonlight
velike dveri
the large gate
treba otvoriti toj kobili,
should be opened for this mare,
reče veterinar

Kad priđe mu
As man approaches
čovjek - konj se na dvije
a horse straightness
noge uspravi.
On two legs.

Ostaci vatre
Remains of the fire
konjska potkovica i sohe–

shoe and davits

by the wellspring.
Julska pržina.
July heat.
U sopstvenu sjenku
A horse hiding head
konj skriva glavu.
into his own shadow.
Otjera stado
Sending away the herd
pa liže ledenice–
then licking the icicles–
konj na solilu.
a horse by the salting place.

naked
gol je
without a bridle

taj je konj
free
slobodan
searching–
u potrazi–
velvet nose
baršunasti se nos
nuzzles my palm
tralja o moj dlan
Vjekoslav Romich, Croatia
Kafilerija
Rendering plant
pognute glave stoji
retired horse standing
isluženi konj
with bowed head
Još uvijek čujem
I
can still hear
odlažeće topote
the sound of departing hooves
posljednjih konja
of the last horses
