This is on a day
when I want to say all kinds of things three times,
and: silence, silence, silence,
as if it were music,
someone else’s who doesn’t know it.

—Nachoem M. Wijnberg (1961-), from “I Love Life” (translated from the Dutch by David Colmer)

An empty day without events.
And that is why
it grew immense
as space. And suddenly
happiness of being
entered me.

I heard
in my heartbeat
the birth of time
and each instant of life
one after the other
came rushing in
like priceless gifts.

—Anna Swir (1909-1984), “Priceless Gifts” (translated from Polish by Czesław Miłosz and Leonard Nathan)
