POETRY


A Pearl in a Shell

β€”POEM by Biljana Chelik

(Translated from Macedonian)

Biljana_Chelik_Macedonian_Poetess

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?

….

(Translated from MACEDONIAN)
