In the Name of Poetry

Thu Dec 18, 2008, 10:36 AM
by Allan Popa
translation mine


You disengaged completely
To speak to the void.

And I stood for a while in the silence
you left me: the silence of words
deliberately left unsaid.

I gaze at you from the remoteness of your distance,
From the space of estrangement,
a place of no return.

Or an emptiness we cannot bear to abandon:
Occidental silence whose meaning
Will never fall silent.

Goodbye, I whispered softly.
You took a brief glance at love

And moved on.

Sa Ngalan ng Tula
ni Allan Popa

Ganap kang tumalikod
Upang kausapin ang kawalan.

At matagal akong tumayo sa katahimikan
Na iyong iniwan: katahimikan ng mga salita
Na hindi piniling sabihin.

Sa layo ng iyong paglayo kita tinatanaw
Mula sa lunan ng pagkakawalay
Na hindi muling mababalikan.

O kawalan na hindi natin kayang talikuran:
Kanluraning katahimikan na hindi kailanman
Matatahimik ang kahulugan

Paalam, ang mahina kong bulong.
Saglit mong nilingon ang pag-ibig

At nagpatuloy.
