I'm looking to forget you.. Selma Kopic

 

I'm looking to forget you
and I travel, I travel farther.
Suddenly I feel:
my suitcase bears your name,
every thing in it smells like you,
you are a mower on the fields I pass by,
you murmur in every stream
on which I drink water.
People, stations, platforms,
whispers, sighs, stories,
tickets, sandwiches, wagons
- everyone carries you
and they look like you.
In a cloud of coffee I see your smile.
In cigarette smoke is your breath.
Wine is intoxicating
as it used to be the first kiss.
It seems we both travel with one ticket.
It's impossible to escape from you.
That’s why I’m
constantly changing direction.
I drink water from a stream
to hear your voice,
I look at the mowed meadows
and a cigarette
one after another I smoke.
I travel all the time, I smell,
I listen to the murmur
and I ask, I'm looking to
forget you.

Tražim tebe da zaboravim

Tražim
tebe da zaboravim
i putujem, putujem sve dalje.
Odjednom osjetim:
moj kofer nosi tvoje ime,
svaka stvar u njemu
na tebe miriše,
ti si kosac na njivama
kraj kojih prolazim,
žuboriš u svakom potoku
na kom se vode napijem.
Ljudi, stanice, peroni,
šaputanja, uzdasi, priče,
karte, sendviči, vagoni
- svi tebe nose
i na tebe liče.
U oblaku kafe
tvoj osmijeh vidim.
U dimu cigarete
tvoj je dah.
Vino opija kao nekad
prvi poljubac.
Izgleda
da jednom kartom putujemo
oboje.
Od tebe je nemoguće
pobjeći.
Zato stalno mijenjam pravac.
Pijem vodu sa potoka
da ti glas čujem,
promatram pokošene livade
i cigaretu jednu za drugom palim.
Putujem stalno, udišem miris,
slušam žubor
i tražim,
tražim tebe
da zaboravim.
