"Liryka nie opadła z ostatnim liściem"

(Eng. Lyricism Did Not Fall Off With the Last Leaf)

 

 

inspired by the poetry of H. Poświatowska

English translation by Marek Lugowski

liryka nie opadła z ostatnim liściem

nagie gałęzie

korzeniom

szepczą przypowieść o powracaniu pór roku

korzenie nie wierzą głęboko

a jednak czerpią soki

 

liryka została

pomiędzy niewiarą

a ciepłem

nabrzmiewa

w brunatnych gałęziach

 

ostatni motyl

chciał ją wziąć na skrzydła

odfrunął ze skarbem złupionym

ale liryka została

w korzeniach

---

 

lyricism did not fall off with the last leaf

the naked branches

whisper to the roots

a tale of returning seasons

the roots do not believe it all too deeply

but nonetheless keep on taking juices

 

lyricism remained

between the nonbelief

and warmth

she swells up

in the brown branches

 

the last butterfly out

wished to take her on its wings

to fly away with a pillaged treasure

but lyricism remained

in the roots
