Brash (Four)

WHEN?! If at all? Where has all the optimism gone?

KDAJ?! Če sploh? Kam je izginil optimizem?

LOST IN A RELATIONSHIP

Lost in a relationship.

I watch, smell, touch,

and especially listen.

It is clear now:

less and less.

IZGUBLJENA V ODNOSU

Izgubljena v odnosu.

Gledam, voham, se dotikam,

predvsem pa poslušam.

In mi je jasno:

vedno manj.

ZTRACENÝ VE VZTAHU

Ztracený ve vztahu.

Dívám se, čichám, dotýkám se,

a hlavně poslouchám.

Teď už je to jasné:

čím dál méně.

LABYRINTH

This relationship is a labyrinth. I have been wandering its endless paths for weeks. The hedge opens and closes and I have reached dead ends countless times. Sometimes I hold his hand along the way, sometimes we part. We agree to meet in the middle, where the real beginning is. Occasionally I think he deliberately lets go of my hand and wanders off to the north-east, away from the agreed destination. He says he is not sure. That he wants to be absolutely sure that the centre is the destination he wants to reach. That he does not want to hurt me. The weeks we have spent walking form the centre of the labyrinth. Every day we get a little closer to the centre, which gets smaller every time he lets go of my hand. A little more time and we will be looking for the relationship with a microscope.

LABIRINT

Ta odnos je labirint. Že več tednov tavam po njegovih neskončnih poteh. Živa meja se razpira in zapira, neštetokrat sem že zašla v slepo ulico. Včasih ga na poti držim za roko, spet drugič se ločiva. Dogovorjena sva, da se dobiva na sredini, kjer je pravi začetek. Občasno se mi zdi, da namerno spusti mojo roko in odtava proti severovzhodu, stran od dogovorjenega cilja. Pravi, da ni prepričan. Da hoče bit popolnoma prepričan, da je središče cilj, ki ga hoče doseči. Da me noče prizadeti. Tedni, ki sva jih preživela med blodenjem, oblikujejo središče labirinta. Z vsakim dnem se malo približava središču, ki se zmanjša vsakič, ko spusti mojo roko. Še malo, pa bova zvezo iskala z mikroskopom.
