"vis-a-vis a window / the gypsum angel hangs / with congealed wings for flying / ah, if only he wasn't / so attached / by his shadow to the wall' by Dorota Pyra. Translated by Leszek Szeglowski.

Poem Text or Excerpt:

vis-a-vis a window
the gypsum angel hangs
with congealed wings for flying

ah, if only he wasn’t
so attached
by his shadow to the wall

naprzeciw okna
wisi gipsowy anio?
z zastyg?ymi do lotu skrzyd?ami

ach, gdyby? on nie by?
tak bardzo przywi?zany
cieniem do ?ciany
