Butterflies

vreva leptira
iza fijuka kose
preraste u muk

a whiz of the scythe -
a throng of butterflies
was turned into hush

trka leptira
jedan sleće - poslušna
senka kraj njega

group of butterflies
only one is landing -
next to its shadow

course de papillons
un s'est posé -
ombre a côté de lui
(Serge Tome)

mure cho no hitostu chi ni ori kage wo hiku
(Masako Takahashi)

leptir i senka
sunce, kamen i potok
dodiruju se

butterfly, shadow,
sun, rock and brook - all of them
touching each other

u bari nebo
blistavo se smeje
sunce kroz oblak

in a pond the sky
is laughing luminously
the Sun through a cloud

trepere šare
na leptirovom krilu
vašar lepote

colorful patterns
on the butterflies' wings -
a vanity fair
