Poštovani Dražene!
Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Dražen!
Prijatelju i pjesniče!Ja za dobro,uvijek dobrim plaćam,za Tvoju knjigu,svojom dug Ti vraćam!
Friend of mine, and fellow poet!For kindness shown,I always pay with kindness too;so for your book,with mine I pay my debt to you!
Ova knjiga Ti pripada,dva'jst devetog listopada,u Soljani nakon fešte,dv'je tisuće i trinaeste.
On October twenty-ninethis book's yours, no longer mine;in Soljani, after the fête,two thousand and thirteen's the date.
Translator's note. Written in a copy of Žablji sastanak (The Frogs' Meeting) for Dražen Strukar, a poet from Cerna, in return for a book of his.
