Featured photograph/poems from "Images of the Natural Year":

*THE NECESSARY SYMMETRY OF TWO*

This week, seven new translations from the
DUTCH [with intro, recordings & poster]:

Two Friends

The moon makes a snowwhite field of the night.
a man has told a friend all about his life:

a miracle has taken place because of this talking:
their hearts have become as two together walking

that the one as he sometimes looks back
says to himself: but am I not like that?

a woman; yet another woman; an absence consuming.
it is as if it is the end of everything:

for one heart journeys forth and one heart stays home
but neither of the two finds Paradise alone.

Hendrik Marsman (1899-1940) (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

Crabgrass

4 or 5 digits -- the splayed fingers
of an outstretched hand,

driven to the peripherique of tightly
cropped, well-fed urban meadows...

     How the violets and yellow flowers
     of spring wish to return, showing us

that someone has given up all the fighting,
and let their hair go wild again, gestures

shaped, even if ever so slightly,
by much sun, sparse rain, and the curious

           lithe ways of a fickle wind.
