We are close.. Selma Kopic

Since that morning,

time has stood still.

Everything else is invisible,

it doesn’t exist.

Departure-return,

so the logical sequence continues

and in that sequence we are,

despite time and meridians,

still close.

Mi smo blizu

Od onog jutra

vrijeme stoji.

Sve drugo nevidljivo je,

ne postoji.

Odlazak-povratak,

tako se nastavlja logičan niz

i u tom nizu mi smo,

unatoč vremenu i meridijanima,

još uvijek blizu.

Salvation straw

Away from the port,

away from the lighthouse,

this ship is losing sight.

The frozen state of mute existence,

uninteresting acceptance

of immobility, inactivity.

Routine of daily survival after parting.

But from the salvation straw,

there is no trace or voice.

Slamka spasa

Daleko od luke,

daleko od svjetionika,

ovaj brod gubi se s vidika.

Zaleđeno stanje nijemog postojanja,

bezinteresno prihvatanje

nepomičnosti, nekretanja,

rutina svakodnevnog opstanka

nakon rastanka.

A od slamke spasa,

ni traga ni glasa.
