Vidmante Jasukaityte

Dedicated to Salekh al Haid Achmed el Marhabi

Say farewell…

Say farewell to the airplane flying by, to passing time,

To the wounded,

Incurable and undying Sphinx.

Say farewell to my footsteps to the North,

Say it to the glass bead in my palm,

To the inexhaustible wellspring,

To the unmined silver,

Say farewell..

From the collection “Neiškastam sidabrui pasakyk sudie”[Say Farewell to Unmined Silver], 1999. Vilnius, “Margi raštai” [Mixed Writings]
