Poem

Dane Zajc

Side by side

Nothing

She vanishes in the clouds
And is gone
In clear nights she swallows stars of the
Big Dipper
With a sharp edge
And I know that beyond the edge there is a
Fathomless space

Nothing

Niè

Vèasih zgine v oblakih
In je ni
V jasnih noèeh pozira zvezde
Velikega voza
Z ostrim robom
Takrat vem da je za robom
Neskonèno Brezdno

Niè
