SO TRENUTKI
Mogoče smo tu res sami odrasli,
a spet se je nekaj zgodilo,
mogoče pogled, in spet je
ponižana do golega in v hipu je
grlo do vrha polno joka.
Mogoče si je res česa zaželela,
ampak saj se je trudila in naredila
vse prav in do konca previdno.
So trenutki, ko tudi otrok
ne zmore več.
THERE ARE MOMENTS
Maybe we really are all adults here,
but then it happens again,
a look, and she is stripped
of all dignity,
her throat filling instantly with tears.
Maybe she truly longed for something,
she really tried and did everything right,
cautious to the very end.
There are moments when even a child
can bare no more.
