Only tonight

Aleš Šteger
translated by Brian Henry

Only tonight is there life.
Tonight I died again.

I died again tonight
And I know it's not the last time.

I know it's not the last time
My small wide death.

My multiple small death
Is a dandelion puff.

Like a light in the voice of the wind, I go,
I go so that I will die on all sides.

On all sides there is life tonight.
But I'm nowhere tonight.
