Our Two Silences
A place of peace and inner silence, somewhere in this beautiful world.
by Anna Swir (1909-1984)
Our Two Silences
Silence
flows into me and out of me
washing my past away.
I am pure already, waiting for you. Bring me
your silence.
They will doze off
nestled in each other’s arms,
our two silences.
Translated from Polish by Czeslaw Milosz and Leonard Nathan.
