Shalom! World.


Halina Poswiatowska (1935 - 1967)

I want to write about you
With your name to prop the crooked fence
The frozen cherry tree
About your lips
To form curved stanzas
About your lashes to lie that they are dark
I want
To weave my fingers through your hair
Find a nook in your throat
Where with a muffled whisper
The heart defies the lips
I want
To mix your name with stars
With blood
To be inside you
Not to be you
To vanish
Like a raindrop soaked into night.


Halina Poświatowska (Halina Myga, entered into church records as Helena Myga; May 9, 1935 in Czestochowa, Poland – October 11, 1967 in Warszawa, Poland) was a Polish poet and writer, one of the most important figures in modern/contemporary Polish literature.
Halina Poświatowska is famous for her lyrical poetry, and for her intellectual, passionate yet unsentimental poetry on the themes of death, love, existence, famous historical personages, especially women, as well as her mordant treatment of life, living, being, bees, cats and the sensual qualities of loving, grieving and desiring.

Shalom! Aleichem.
