Description
blog │ facebook │ G+"Tak właśnie umiera się na kwiat"
(Eng. This Is How One Dies Upon a Flower)
self-portrait
(2015)
Dallas, Texas, U.S.
inspired by the poetry of H. Poświatowska
English translation by Marek Lugowski
---
możliwości mamy ogromne
na przykład: moje wnętrzności
o których nic nie wiem
mogą się splątać w hesperyjską różę
o ostrych kolcach
róża może wyróść
aż ponad przełyk
zatkać
otwór tchawicy wąski
i nagle
płuca pełne drobnych kłujących bólów
i powietrze trzepocące bezradnie
po przeciwnej stronie ulicy
ani podbiec ani go dosięgnąć
sygnał czerwony w oczach
strach jak milicjant na rogu
tak właśnie umiera się na kwiat
o którym
mówię
można nic nie wiedzieć
---
our possibilities are huge
for example: my innards
of which I know nothing
could knot into a Hesperidean rose
of sharp thorns
a rose could grow
way past the gullet
plug up
the windpipe's slim hole
and suddenly
the lungs full of tiny sharp aches
and the air fluttering helplessly
across the street
ungettable unreachable
in the eyes a red signal
fear like a policeman on the corner
this is how one dies upon a flower
of which
I say
one might know nothing

This reminds me, if only I had the skills - or patience to even try learning them, I suppose... - to illustrate things I'd write myself or use as an inspiration. Glad to see that you do and care to share them.

I found this one a bit unsettling -- but well in keeping with the poem. A vivid interpretation.
