balada
je rekla pred prvim dotikom
je nujno videti tvoj vrt potem
je napisala divji mož
vse je bilo vselej le zate
gredica je bila ena sama
ena širna zelena ravnina
vse se je prepletalo nikoli
nista gledala v zvezde
se je njun pogled zastrl
med dežne kaplje
tam ni bilo mogoče razločiti
solz ki so zastajale
v kotičkih njunih oči dež
ljudi omehča kot solze
skozi dež je nasmeh milejši
v dežju sta dotika drsela
lahkotno nikoli ni pisala
dnevnika življenje
se je preveč spreminjalo
da bi lahko bilo
del takšne konstante sta
spala samo zaradi noči
na vrtu je zaradi obilja
raslo in buhtelo
