Naše oci – Our eyes

Naše oci je zalila
lava goreca.
In sivi prah
Cementnih stolpov
Spekel nas v ustnice.
 
Kot drevje gorece
smo se nagnili
v novi dan.
 
Our eyes
Our eyes were flooded
with burling lava.
And the grey dust
of cement towers
burnt our lips.
Like burning trees
we leaned
into a new day.
