poesi haiku

winter field

the crows devour

the last light

polje zimi

vrane žderu 

prošlu noć

zimowe pole

kruki pochłaniają

ostatnie światło

Jego komentarz do haiku:

The proffered scene is like a classic photograph, reminiscent of the work, perhaps, of John Berger from his days in the Pyrenees — natural, sharp, highly contrasted. What raises the poem above the strict delineation of place, however, is the violence of the verb. Light must be clinging to that snowfield, and yet what compels the poet is its disappearance, embodied by the blackness that is the crows. The crows, then, become the emblem of the death of the day, light-eaters, with all the foreboding such creatures conjure in our imaginations. As winter is already a time of diminished light, their infernal work seems all the more apparent, and appalling.
