Vrijeme iscjeljenja – Pesha Gertler

Konačno, na svom putu prema da
sudaram se sa svim mjestima
kada sam rekla ne
svom životu
sve neizvidane rane
crveni i ljubičasti ožiljci
ti hijeroglifi boli
urezani u moju kožu, kosti
te kodirane poruke
koje su me upućivale
krivom ulicom
ponovo i ponovo
gdje ih nalazim
stare rane
stari krivi smjerovi
podižem ih
jedno po jedno
blizu srca
i govorim sveto
sveto

The Healing Time
Poem by Pesha Gertler

Finally on my way to yes
I bump into
all the places
where I said no
to my life
all the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain
carved into my skin, my bones,
those coded messages
that send me down
the wrong street
again and again
where I find them
the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them
one by one
close to my heart
and I say holy
holy.
