| When they were liberated and returned, they married her to a sergeant of theirs. Tufts in the tips of his moccasins, the white pleated kilt revived his friskiness and they built up a house at Staja. | |

| Her house surrounded by greenery, built with grey – green stones in the plateau of Çuka. It was surrounded by the perennial trees from oaks, beeches, velanidhe.
Her houses, in the plateau of Çuka surrounded by the greenery of the trees, were built with the grey-green stones. The perennial trees such as: oaks, beeches, velanidhe surrounded it. The workers relaxed under their freshness. Laughing, jokes, and funny expressions and the chirping of birds, joys and fairs, sweetened their bitter lives caused by shortages. Cold waters ran noisy, in the plateaus of Çuka they merged down, at the torrent with their river, BISTRICA. And the families with children, brides and nephews increased. And each of them had their place in the church, when they assembled on Sundays or in times of celebrations. | |

In Albania they fought and wore in black. In occupation no German stepped in their place. 6 tradesmen came to them in the village, Hari and his friends delivered zematura* (*a boiled bread). And it was the liberator Captain, who extended and based his brave men, all of them together; hand in hand they fought and enjoyed their freedom. | |

| 1947.
Like a breath of wind, the civil war came and they lost their son and daughter. And they put their anger and opposed God. They thought to surrender their soul to the Devil; their uncontrollable pain was a pinch from a poisonous viper. The old man was the first to give up, who did not bear and the old woman remained to fill with mourns their plateaus, that the wind took along and send them to the peaks of Sarandena with remaining hardened stone pits similar to the escort group from the groom’s family and roared beyond in Vardhusia at Veluqi. | |

The word
*When at nights the cuckoo stands
huddled up on the chimney
and a capricious song begins,
my heart becomes like a stone waiting
for the bad news.
When in our 100 year farmland the goldfinch sings
its pleasant song with a sweet voice,
my heart flies to have news from you,
the good news. | |

a quince full of sweet juice
and the multicolored viper Jordan;
to what dragon should I send little lambs
for lunch and desert,
to hold you in my breast? | |

| It is an unbearable weight in these hard years that can not be lifted, as if I had all the weight of the earth upon my shoulders. I take courage, I hold myself tight, I clutch my nineties, and stubbornly I keep on living, waiting. I wait to have news from you, good or bad news, my only daughter, the red poppy with 24 Aprils; I have lost you in the brother’s fight. Inside the red pomegranate, I have seen you in the street, untilyou have remained a red mark. | |

| *I used to put an evil eye to you
and boasted with pride…
since that time I have never seen you,
o angelic joy.
Did I, your mother,
put the evil eye on you,
or such are the destinies written
in the forehead?
I welcomed them twofold
in the cradle,
nuts with honey three days
and three nights,
they write your root
to have the joys of the heavens,
the fortunes of the entire world. | |

| For 40 days I did not uncover your face
that the skies might not see you
and put the evil eye on you.
Neither the sun’s face
because it was your sun. | |

| You became stronger among joys
and songs.
Like the arrow – shaped swallows fly the words
from your lips;
the nightingales remain silent
listening to your song…
Every spring, | |

| like I look at our flourished cherry tree,
unintentionally I look at you,
your noble curly white hair.
An unimportant cherry
“an inner part of yourbody” were you
and now the misery of how
have you become
and how you would be,
which genie welcomed you
in a bridge of rope,
what magicians with their spells
should I send to bring | |

| you back to me, a great and uncontrollable worry disturbs me. We do not celebrate Easters since then. The hands did not hold the Eastern eggs, neither the Eastern doughs, tightened – embraced with red eggs the table is not decorated. I did not loose my house until the present; it remained dyed with lime by your golden hands. | |

Our small spring in the crossway runs,
the same crystalline water day
and night, | |
