Forget Paris, we'll always have Ljubljana.
Ljubljana is Asleep
In red chaos a new humanity
is approaching! Ljubljana is asleep
Europe is dying in a red light
The phone lines are all dead
Oh, but this one is cordless
A blind horse
[As if your eyes were from Italian paintings]
White towers rise
out of dun walls ; the flood
Europe is stepping into a grave
We come with a hurricane
With poison gases
[Your lips are like strawberries]
Ljubljana is asleep
On the tram the conductor is asleep
Slovenski narod is read in the Europa cafe
The clicking of billiard halls
by Srecko Kosovel, translated by Nike Kocijancic Pokorn
Ljubljanski grad, Ljubljana, Slovenia. September 2009.
