Lidice

This little summer garden

where we used to meet,

fragrant with wild  flowers

when  wise bees  gathered ...

A little secret path,ran along

the peaceful river ,leading us 

 to our palace ,

The beautiful Moldau accomplice 

 to our oaths ...

Your hair ,aniseed -scent forest 

cascading down my shoulder ...

I was this tender navigator 

in search of your secret coves ...

Is the sweetness of life only the instant 

of a brief illusion,before the wise foragers 

suddenly  become  furious  ?

Locusts tore Lidice\'s soul   apart ,

down to the deepest roots ...

In the morning ,a train was waiting 

for you at Prague  station ,

to the east ever further away ....

The dust of our bodies ,

drifting to the calm flow of Moldau ...

Others won\'t write the script of a love

in this little summer garden before lidice...
