LIKE ARCHEANASSA in Sappho’s poem

LIKE ARCHEANASSA in Sappho’s poem
I see myself as an offender
and my solitude begins

What does it imply to be a source for stories
Ariadne’s thread to the living
I walk, eat, sleep and don’t want to stay

Last night I didn’t dream of you
dear is a personal word
traveling from death to mortality.

LIKE ARCHEANASSA in Sappho’s poem

SOM ARCHEANASSA i Sapfos dikt
ser jeg på meg selv som en forbryter
og begynner å bli alene

Hva betyr det å være en kilde til historier
en ariadnetråd til de levende.
Jeg går, spiser, sover og vil ikke være her

I natt drømte jeg ikke om deg;
kjære er et personlig ord
en reise fra død til dødelighet.
