Non Looking

WhatsApp Image 2023-06-29 at 22.55.08

I entered a room with your hanging spirit,

Not scared, only itching with a memory.

And the fact that we are forced to share it.

I realise that for you, it’s a different story.

~

For me, it’s just the time I could’ve spent

On not acting in another of this game’s scenes.

And if I don’t look to play it ever again,

I still wish it were later. I wish it’d never been.

~

I wish you had said nothing. To me – ever,

The world. The silence that is key to standing,

Pretending would’ve helped us all to bear,

Silence would’ve almost stopped the reminding.

~

With silence, I’ll cover myself.

My very unfaithful Polish translation:

NIE SZUKANIE

~

Czuje dalej twoja obecnosc w tym pokoju,

Nie boje sie, tylko dreczy mnie wspomnienie

I nawet bardziej to, ze jest ono nasze

Chociaz dla ciebie wyglada inaczej

~

Dla mnie, to wspomnienie czasu

W ktorym powinnam zawiesc sie na tobie wczesniej,

I jezeli nigdy cie juz nie spotkam

To juz za wszesnie. To powinno byc zawsze.

~

Ty nie powinienes nic mowic. Do mnie – nigdy,

Do niej, do innych. Nie wytrzymales.

Ignorowanie pomogloby nam wszystkim.

Cisza pomoglaby zaschnac to wspomnienie.

~

Cisza, ktora sie okryje.
