I AM FLOODING

(translated by Karin Pečnikar)

I am flooding

your youth and maturity,

your memories and desires.

Like turbulent water

I’m undermining your roots,

flushing away the earth

and tranquility.

Down, underneath a steep rock,

the power of wild water

crystallized

reveals the mirror:

Perhaps you will find peace again

and in time, reconciled,

grow roots.
