Absence

 

Hard days

can only give

someone’s absence.

 

Harder days

can’t give the answers

for the questions

for how many pieces

and for how many more times

can break

the same heart.

 

 

NIEOBECNOŚĆ

 

Ciężkie są takie dni,

Które przynoszą

Jedynie czyjąś nieobecność.

 

Gorsze są tylko te,

które nie przynoszą

odpowiedzi na pytania

na ile kawałków

i ile jeszcze razy

może pokruszyć się

to samo serce.

 

 

 

More

 

I am much afraid of the pain of solitude,

the pain of the echo of my voice

in too empty space

and my empty words for no one.

 

The only thing I am afraid more

is that when it comes for real

it will only hurt much more.

 

 

TYLKO BARDZIEJ

 

Bardzo boję się bólu samotności

bólu echa mojego głosu

w zbyt pustej przestrzeni

i moich pustych słów bez adresata.

 

Bardziej boję się tylko tego,

że kiedy już do mnie przyjdzie

będzie bolało

już tylko bardziej.

 

 

Everything And Nothing

 

What could I do

If had done everything.

 

But nothing has changed -

still the same lack of presence.

 

It seems doing everything

is too little

as much little as

nothing.

 

 

WSZYSTKO I NIC

 

Co mogłabym jeszcze zrobić

jeśli zrobiłam już

wszystko.

 

I nic się nie zmieniło

wciąż ta sama nieobecność.

 

Widać wszystko

to za mało.

Widać, że równie mało

jak nic.
