11.

Men of letters have cooked up countless farces
and women helped them out.
But a blue diamond
will put on a different set of clothes.
Courtships in fictitious places
go up in smoke.
At dead of night, a snake leaves its old skin behind.
On lace-rimmed children’s caps, dew has collected.
Refusal is
love.

Literati so naredili dosti fars
in ženske so jim pomagale.
Modri diamant
pa se preoblači nepričakovano.
Dvorjenja v navideznih prostorih
so šla v zrak.  
Kača staro kožo pušča v tihi noči.
Na čipkastih otroških kapicah se je nabrala rosa.
Odbojnost je
ljubezen.
