MUK
Znao je da je veća šansa
da će preživeti onaj
ko prvi zapuca.
Zato je on, u agoniji,
zapucao prvi,
pa nije bilo njegove krvi.
Samo je vreme
iz njegovih očiju
prosulo svoje kapi po putu.
U daljini je dugo zavijao pas.
Ili vuk.
Onda se nastupio muk.
SILENCE
He knew that the one
who shoots first
is more likely to survive.
Thus in agony
he took the first shot.
His blood nowhere, not a spot.
It was time alone
that dripped on the road
from his eyes.
The howls of a dog were distant and long.
A wolf as well it might have been.
Yet silence that followed few could have foreseen.
