Medieval Yellows
Massicot
mosaic gold saffron buckthorn weld -
how to get your gilding on
it will not take part in
ruination of the blue.
Or drubbing through the known earths
in preparation for
the flesh
would it be upheld,
its chalcedony.
What you are here for
your ardent understanding of
what self in many
moving faculties
that make it so like self—
suckers through the roots of
the undulant wood
it has been living
all along
oxidizing under the topic
brilliance, hematite, lime white,
a little pinch in the dish
you have only to wait for it.

Marele galben
medieval
Mozaic
rectiliniu, cu galben de şofran şi roşu de măceş.
Cum
să aureşti, fără să contaminezi albastrul.
Cotrobăind
prin locuri cunoscute
şi
pregătind carnea
din
care să lucească
calcedoniul.
Ce
căutăm aici,
ce
înţelegere înverşunată avem
asupra
sinelui cu multe
facultăţi
mobile,
ce
anume determină sinele –
mustăţi
absorbante din rădăcinile
lemnului
mlădiu
mereu
au existat acolo
oxidând
sub scoarţă
albeaţă
strălucită, purpurie,
ciobitură
a smalţului
la
care să te-aştepţi.

JOANNA KLINK
Novenary
Where
my life, hollowed out by solitude,
kept
me from sleep, I scoured the red-roots,
the
sanded eyes of the crows.
Under
a dry moon I kept company
with
augury, felt alert to threat.
These
are seasons, not eternities,
but
to live here, thin water and candor,
is
to be stranded. Autumn, morning, dusk,
I
scoured the river, opal-alluvial.
I
wanted to know and I wanted to ask.
If
I am only hull to what happens,
let
me at least feel more deeply that flitting,
the
dead light of stars over my hands,
into
my throat. Oar of my body.
Such
things as were sensed but not known.
Novenă
Atunci
când, golită de sapa singurătătii,
viaţa
îmi alunga somnul, măcinam rădăcinile roşii,
ochii
nisipii ai ciorii.
Sub
luna seacă, mă însoţeam
cu
norocul, mă feream de pericol.
Asemenea
anotimpuri, nu eternităţile,
ne
bântuie pe toţi care trăim aici,
prinşi
între-un vad de ape şi candoare.
Toamnă,
dimineaţă, sau apus,
cercetam
râul cu aluviuni de opal.
Să
ştiu voiam, să întreb.
Dacă
sunt doar o proră de care se izbeşte valul,
măcar
să simt cum alunec în profunzime,
Cu
stele moarte luminandu-mi mânile
şi
corzile vocale. Trup de vâslă.
Cum
mă simţeam atunci dar nu ştiam.
