Я начала писать стихи в 13 лет, но это была незрелая поэзия подростка, который через неё пытался выразить свои переживания, страхи и мечты. В 25 лет и начался мой период поиска себя через белорусский язык, который вылился в книгу стихов. Готовлю к публикации коллективный сборник поэтических переводов Чарльза Буковски на белорусский язык.
I started writing poems when I was 13, teenage poems to cope with fears and despair. Later, at 25, I started using the Belarusian language in my everyday life as a tool for self identification and thus my book of poetry Fear of Heights was born. At the moment I am preparing a book of poetry translations from Charles Bukowski into the Belarusian language.

A Leave Poem
Before
you leave me,
please do
something:
write me
a poem
in it recall
in every
detail
what you
remember.
Tell them
how I
push needles
under my nails
and scream
with pain
as I can’t
with pleasure,
tell them
how
because of
high pressure
my language
drips
from my nose
and fouls
your white shirts,
tell them
how I
pull out
the skeletons
eaten by moths
from my
wardrobe
Saturday mornings,
always the same
ones,
how I
tag every single
thing
in the flat
with our names
to remember
what is yours
and where
is myspace,
tell them
how I
take off my skin
before going
to bed,
and you’re
so scared of
naked flesh
that you never
sleep at night
Write me a poem
and scream it
take it instead of
amphetamine,
love it in a safe and
convenient way.
Just don’t
show me.
Be its father
and its mother.
Leave for me
only two last lines,
the ones that
mean
nothing.
