INCLUSION

From the orchestra of sensations

only moments are stopped in time.

They remain,

they last like an inclusion hidden in amber.

The past veiled by the memory

of stone nature.

My mind are the corals of the past,

monads of memories

immersed in a whirl of madness.

The corals of the future crystallize

into indeterminacy.

Fortune will materialize tomorrow.

 

Inkluzja

Z orkiestry doznań

tylko chwile są zatrzymane w czasie.

Pozostają,

trwają jak inkluzja ukryta w bursztynie.

Przeszłość zawoalowana pamięcią

kamiennej natury.

Mój umysł to korale przeszłości,

monady wspomnień

zanurzone w wirze szalonego biegu.

Korale przyszłości krystalizują się

w nieokreśloność.

Przypadek zmaterializuje jutro.

 

SCATTERED THOUGHTS

To Wlodzimierz Szpinger

In the gap of an old floor

she found a picture.

On the easel she has set

not her memories.

Painted

probably a poet.

Pencil, paper,

scattered thoughts

that cannot be heard, but can be seen.

He thought about parting? Or about...

She lied.

She did not know what he was thinking,

she did not even know if it was...?

How to paint a poet?

How to paint not your thoughts?

 

Rozsypane myśli

Włodkowi Szpingerowi

W szczelinie starej podłogi

znalazła obrazek.

Na sztaludze ustawiła

nie swoje wspomnienia.

Namalowany

chyba poeta.

Ołówek, kartka,

rozsypane myśli,

których nie słychać, ale widać.

Myślał o rozstaniu? Albo o...

Kłamała.

Nie wiedziała o czym myślał,

nie wiedziała nawet, czy to...?

Jak namalować poetę?

Jak namalować nie swoje myśli?

 

PAINTED LIPS

At the gate,

on the atoll of happiness

with lips

painted in a smile,

sits

Youth.

In a closed space

of its own pleasure,

it quietly departs.

Although power and impotence

is always with it,

it loses priceless time

 life.

 

Rozmalowane usta

W bramie,

na atolu szczęśliwości

z ustami

rozmalowanymi uśmiechem,

siedzi

Młodość.

W zamkniętej przestrzeni

własnych przyjemności

po cichutku odchodzi.

Choć moc i niemoc

jest zawsze z Nią,

traci bezcenny czas

 życie.
