Snow in your shoes
Ana Ristović (Serbia)
Listen to what Eskimos say:
to build a good igloo,
for years you have to carry
snow in you shoes.
And a safety pin, forgotten
in your coat collar,
near the jugular.

Iată ce spun Eschimoşii:
Ca să poţi clădi
un iglou bun
trebuie mai întâi să mergi
cu zăpada în bocanci.
Si cu un ac de siguranţă
rătăcit sub gulerul paltonului
lângă jugular.
