Ratovi U Našim Životima
by Izet SarajlićMarko Bašić je preturio preko glave
dva balkanska i dva svjetska rata.
Ovo mu je peti.
Meni i mom pokoljenju—drugi.
A za Vladimira
s njegovih osamnaest mjeseci
u ovom trenutku mogli bi se reći
da je čak polovicu svog života
proveo u ratu.
Marko Bašić is in over his head
with two Balkan and two World wars.
This is his fifth.
Me and my generation—the second.
Even for Vladimir,
at eighteen months old,
in this moment one can say
half his life
has been carried out in war.
translated from Bosnian by Sara Nović
