Goodbye / Bill Knott

GOODBYE

If you are still alive when you read this,
close your eyes. I am
under their lids, growing black.

Bill Knott - (1940-2014, USA)

(The Naomi Poems, Book One: Corpse and Beans)





Adiós

Si todavía estás vivo cuando lees esto, cierra tus ojos.
yo estoy bajo tus párpados, cada vez más negro.

Bill Knott - (1940-2014, EUA)





Hoşça Kal

Bunu okurken hâlâ hayattaysan,
kapat gözlerini. Ben
altındayım gözkapaklarının, kararıp durmaktayım.

Bill Knott (1940-2014, ABD)
