Geert De Kockere: *** (In een kamer…/ In a room…/ В стая…)

Публикувано от на май 13, 2020 в 12:47 pm.


***

In een kamer
die de mijne niet was, niet is
en ook nooit zal zijn,
sliep ik de onrustige slaap
van de eend op vreemd water.

Voortdurend verstak ik mijn bek
tussen mijn pluimen,
op zoek naar de slaap.

Maar dat klotsen,
dat aldoor klotsen
van mijn gedachten.



***

In a room
that wasn’t mine, isn’t
and also never will be,
I slept the restless sleep
of a duck in unfamiliar waters.

I continuously hid my beak
in between my feathers,
looking for sleep.

But that crashing,
that constant crashing
of my thoughts.


Transated by Jason Spinks



***

В стая, която
не е била моя, не е моя и
няма да бъде моя,
аз сънувах неспокойния
сън на пате, попаднало в
непознати води.

Не спрях да крия човка в
перата си, дирейки
отмора.

Само да не бе люлеенето,
това непрестанно
люлеене
на моите мисли.
