Milan Rakić's 'Jasika' ('The Aspen') is a lyric poem in which the speaker watches a slender aspen tremble above grey roofs and mist. Contrasting the stillness of the world with the tree's restless motion, it reflects on sorrow, mortality and an eternal life force that lies beyond good and evil. It is worth hearing for its quiet, musical meditation.
