Yesterday evening
Yesterday evening,
I saw you lying across in your bed
So I tiptoed to you
Almost falling on plastic toys,
On-the-floor-tossed laser swords.
The sock-sausage looks at me
For the mess it tries to say sorry.
My attention is caught now
By your trousers-they shout
Like exclamation marks,
Laughing the order off.
How I love this ordered chaos in you!
I couldn’t help blinking
At the mass of clothes left by you.
Then I knew, you are doing well!
From the messy room I can tell.
So I snuggled you in the silence
Putting my face down on your little neck.
Your fingers found mine while you were dreaming
And soon the two of us were united in one breathing
Like before, when I cried from pain
Or laughed with delight.
I’d like to be part of your dreams, but can’s anymore.
All I have is your chest lifting,
Like in the first weeks, counting your heartbeats.
Tadam-tam-tam, tadam-tam-tam.
It’s like knocking on the door.
I sigh in the mighty darkness
Then you stretch your legs�
Do you remember the time
When my calf was enough?
I was kissing your soles
Accompanied by your giggles.
Even the bed got smaller for you.
I give a shy hug,
Or a stolen kiss sometimes,
Stuff, that a boy –when awake- dislikes.
Head on the pillow, blanket over body.
It’s been eleven summers of being your mommy.
Long live, my son!
Az eredeti vers
Tegnap este
Tegnap este keresztbe fekdtl az gyadon
Lbujjhegyen lpkedtem oda, botladozva
a fldredoblt manyag lzerkardokon.
Gombcc gyrt zokni pislogott rm
bocsnatkrn. Levetett nadrgod szrai,
mint a rend kpbe nevet felkiltjelek
vontk magukra knnytl ftyolos szememet.
Hogy szeretem benned ezt a flegma formabontst!
Cinkosan kacsintottam a gondosan koszba rendezett
vegyes halomra.
Rend lelkedben ht:
Rendetlensg sznezi a gyerekszobt!
Csendben melld bjtam,
s kis nyakadba temettem arcom
Ujjaid lmodban is enyimbe kulcsoltad
Felvettem llegzeted ritmust
S gy sszebjva,
egytt llegeztnk jra
Mint rgen, mikor a vrszn bennem
egytt ltk t, amikor fjdalmasan srtam
vagy felszabadultan nevettem.
Szeretnk belelopdzni lmaidba,
de nem tehetem, s ez gy van jl.
Csak megleshetem des mellkasod,
ahogy emelkedik, s sllyed
S mint els heteid alatt, szvem aggdva szorul ssze
Gyorsan pulzusod szmolom
arcom mellett lktet nyakadon:
Lass, gyors-gyors. Lass, gyors-gyors...
Kis kldnyi szved dolgozik...rendben
Felshajtok a meghatott csendben
Lbad kinyjtod..., Emlkszem
mikor elfrtl knyelmesen mg a combomon
Talpad cskolgattam, s sikongva nevettl,
Most nem frsz mr el keresztben az gyadon.
Szgyenlsen tkarollak mg, vatosan megcskollak
bren nem nagyon szereted mr
Prndra igaztom fejed, betakargatlak.
Boldogsgban veled, ez mr a tizenegyedik nyr!
Isten ltessen fiam! |
