One day we will get on the train
One day
we will get on the train
We will sit silently
inside windows
in drawn faces and aging
bodies
without shoulders
and will wait whistle
arrival at the station
and then detrain out of
sight
and move to a place with
soft soil
we will find a small house
as a body
and lie down
our heads on a pillow of stone,
with empty pockets.
At that moment we will fly
over the open roof
a flock of dreams in
colors that we did not apprehend.
We will lengthen our
eyesight,
but we will feel like a
weak plant
with curved body
that is ready to surrender to the land.
--tr. Laureta Petoshati
Over the Town -- Marc Chagall
