Gašper Malej - Slovenia

on the whole I accept it, this temporariness.
a lot smoother, it is simpler
and offers new places to hold on to.
it writes kisses in the snow, calls up
different faces and dances among them.
it smiles at you as though it doesn't
want to be just a fairytale. because it is constantly
changing, it is the condition of the wind.
you don't need anything else: it's an embrace.
(Translated by Nikolai Jeffs)

kar sprejemam jo, to začasnost.
veliko bolj gladka, preprostejša je,
in nova oprijemališča nudi.
poljube vpiše v sneg, drugačne
obraze skliče in pleše med njimi.
nasmehne se ti tako, kot da noče
biti zgolj pravljica. ker se nenehno
spreminja, je stanje vetra. ničesar
drugega ne potrebuješ: je objem.
