Tänavu suvel on väga palju putukaid
Language: Estonian (Eesti keel)  after the English 
Tänavu suvel on väga palju putukaid. 
Niipea kui aias liigud, 
ilmub su pea ümber sumisev kärbseparv,
linnupesakastides on kimalaste,
sarapuupõõsastes herilaste pesad
ja ärklitoa akna all istudes
kuulen aina suminat ja ei tea,
kas see on kimalaste, herilaste,
elektritraatide hääl,
lennuk taevas, auto maanteel
või elu enda hääl, mis tahab seestpoolt
mulle midagi öelda.
