ALICJA WOJDYŁO

ALICJA WOJDYŁO

1.

I open my hands

to which

the rain drips -

your thoughts

and it soaks in

to the skin

and it combines

with blood

until eventually your thoughts

become mine

and still I raise my hands to the sky

and ask for more


***

otwieram dłonie

do których

skapuje deszcz -

twoje myśli

i wchłania się

w skórę

i miesza się

z krwią

aż w końcu twoje myśli

stają się moimi

i wciąż podnoszę w niebo dłonie

i proszę o więcej







2.

hide the sun in your hands

and throw it on the grass

it will warm against the cold of the night

and reveal the faces of trees

tired

catch the ruddy Moon

and return it back to water

it will invigorate before travel

and give strength to the psyche

sore

And the stars will be

lanterns

in the hands of wanderers

concerned

***


ukryj Słońce w dłoniach

i rzuć je na trawę

ogrzeje przed chłodem nocy

i ukaże twarze drzew

zmęczone

schwytaj Księżyc rumiany

i oddaj go wodzie

orzeźwi na wędrówkę

i doda sił psychice

obolałej

Gwiazdy zaś będą

świecznikami

w rękach wędrowców

zatroskanych







3.

the butterfly perched on the shoulder

of the boy

autism also allows to see

beauty


***


motyl przysiadł na ramieniu

chłopca

autyzm też pozwala dostrzec

piękno

Nationality: Poland

Language: Polish
ALICJA WOJDYŁO: – graduated in sociology from the Catholic University of Lublin, formerly participated in the Literary Workshops 'Wers', currently active in the Literary Association 'Witryna'. She draws creative inspiration from her surroundings and her interests, which include film, literature and experiencing various cultures, both contemporary and historical, especially the Slavic, East Indian, Finnish and Asian cultures. She claims that it is difficult to enclose such cultural inspirations in poetry, so it is best while reading to experience them as well through listening to music or watching a film. Also, she is an enthusiast of coffee, Mickiewicz's poetry and music from around the world.
