Without Poetry? Poem by Dorota Szumilas

Without Poetry?



Without people it's sad
With people often... hard

Solitude sometimes desired
Once nearly accepted

Heart torn by dilemmas
Pride dare not ask

How do you live without poetry?
So that words don't drown

Maybe simply send them...
As echo or poetic whisper

Someone will always hear them
With his heart or soul

(transl. by Urszula Sledziewska)
