"Walking"

by Laura Mercurio Ebohon

(Copyright 2009)

 

I walk but I don’t know where I’m going.

I slip, stumble and draw myself up.

I follow the wind,

I run away from me,

From a me I don’t recognize.

And you can see

You see so clearly!

In the scars of the heart and the wounds of the soul,

In the irreversible, unquenchable pain.

You know everything!

I walk and I don’t know where I’m going

I fall, I get up,

Looking at the sky I pray

For I could see too,

Through your eyes one time only.

To see and hate myself like you do,

despise me as you do.

I walk, nowhere to go,

I collapse and grasp.

Still I can’t see what you see,

But I see you, your rage,

And I keep on walking but I don’t know where I am going.

 

Camminando

Di Laura Mercurio Ebohon

(Copyright 2009)

 

Cammino ma non so dove vado.

Scivolo, sbando e mi raddrizzo

Seguo il vento,

Scappo da me,

Da quello che non so di essere.

E tu vedi,

Vedi così chiaro!

Nei solchi del cuore e le ferite dell’anima,

Nel dolore irreversibile, incolmabile.

Sai tutto tu!

Cammino, non so dove vado,

Cado e mi rialzo

Guardo il cielo e prego,

Perché possa anch’io vedere,

Con i tuoi occhi per un attimo soltanto.

Guardarmi e odiarmi come mi odi tu,

Disprezzarmi come fai tu.

Cammino e non so dove vado,

Crollo, mi aggrappo.

Ancora non vedo quello che vedi tu,

Ma vedo te, la tua ira

E continuo a camminare ma non so dove andare.
