POETRY
A Pearl in a Shell
βPOEM by Biljana Chelik
(Translated from Macedonian)
Tear
after tear
necklace
of tears.
Pain
after pain,
darkness in my soul.
Lie
after lie
a
broken heart.
Injustice
after injustice,
soul ashes made.
Blow
after blow,
the
body is bloody.
You
have become a pearl in a shell,
deep, deepest in the
ocean.
How many shells do we have to open…
May
our Motherland have you again?
β¦.
(Translated from MACEDONIAN)
