Paul Auster
Shadow to Shadow

Against the facade of evening:
shadows, fire, and silence.
Not even silence, but its fire—
the shadow
cast by a breath.

To enter the silence of this wall,
I must leave myself behind.

POL OSTER
(1947 – 2024)
SJENA SJENI

Na fasadi večeri:
sjene, vatra i tišina.
Nije ni tišina, nego njena vatra —
sjena
bačena dahom.

Da uđem u tišinu ovog zida,
moram sebe da ostavim iza sebe.

(Prepjev: Magda Jovanović)
