Three women in burqas – przekład Agnieszka Judd (USA)

First in brown

Horror in the eyes

Shaky step

 

Second in white

Stunned by the news

Takes small steps

Afraid of falling

 

Third in light blue

Small

Puts courageous steps

 

Bearded thug

Prods women apart

Life goes on

People eat dates

Death hangs in the air

 

Three women

Kneel on the asphalt

Air is stagnant

Thug carries a rifle

Like a bag with groceries

Sneaks from the back

Like a thief

Shoots in the neck

 

The one in the brown

Falls forward

 

The one in white

On her face

 

The one in light blue

Still kneeing

With her breasts rebelliously forward

Falls to the side

The burqa seam uncovers a foot

The killer covers it

And calls gravediggers
