*THE NECESSARY SYMMETRY OF TWO*

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

Tired of Love

Love knows the time that is owed it
hours die like aunts on Sunday.

Is it spring? Is it winter?
The trees receive the wind and are bent.

My desire is tired, my breath toothless.
I'm tired of naming parts of the body,
as we did, bubbling-over with discovery.
I'm tired of love.

Everything begins to drift, driven by the wind:
my hands, her hands, my words,
seasons... we take along the pain,
pursuing the quick love and die.
I'll die for sure, drifting,
looking for love where it once was,
toothless and tired.

Remco Campert (1929) (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.
