W zapachu konwalii goją się rany
i otwierają się szczeliny w ziemi
ziejące próżnią bez dna.

In the fragrance of the lily of the valley wounds heal
and the cracks in the earth open
gaping in a bottomless void.

I’m not so sure if wounds heal, but it’s still a powerful image.
They do, they do, they do…
Thank you for your words!
