Halina Poswiatowska canon in translation.  Dziela II 69. / DZIELA 1-2
(poems not in _Wiersze Wybrane_ (Selected Poems), Jan Zych ed. / DRAFT2)

		untitled (***a moment ago they said of him -- small)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		a moment ago they said of him -- small
		selfish shallow
		and now silence overgrows their words

		someone noted gently
		that a week ago this person
		committed suicide

		hurriedly
		a wreath of tin
		was woven for him out of silence

		then the discussion went on again
		about the newest developments in poetry

		przed chwila/ mo/wili mal/y
		interesowny pl/ytki
		a teraz cisza ich sl/owa zarosl/a

		ktos/ zauwaz/yl/ l/agodnie
		z/e tydzien/ temu ten czl/owiek
		popel/nil/ samobo/jstwo

		pospiesznie
		blaszany wieniec
		upleciono mu z ciszy

		potem dyskutowano dalej
		o najs/wiez/szych zdarzeniach w poezji
