[As in the Mayan calendar, the years gone by] Poem by Gabrielė Labanauskaitė

[As in the Mayan calendar, the years gone by]



As in the Mayan calendar, the years gone by
Add up to zero
Signifying nothing more than an empty shell.
Our existence
Is equally insignificant
Or the same fulfillment -
Depends on how you look at it.

Translation from Lithuanian by Ada Valaitis
