There is a black poplar, and in the window—light,
And bells ringing in the tower
--Marina Tsvetaeva

Psalm 24
How I love to lie down in this field—in myself:
myself in hiding, then disappearing.

--Patrice de La Tour du Pin


The War Works Hard
it blesses poets with themes,
it makes the makers busy

--Dunya Mikhail

Things
Copper from my land
black ceramics from Pomaire 
and Oaxaca

--Renato Martinez
 

Decked Out at Night
 ...they will not name the hour
nor count the flakes
nor follow the water to the weir.

--Paul Celan

Fragment from a Province Drawn in Dust
If there is water, it must come

from the skin. 
--Malachi Black

We Have No Sleep 
We think of tomorrow,
as we feed the swans 
with yesterday’s bread.

--Nikola Madzirov


You and I and the World
Place the scale on the kitchen table 
and let reality weigh itself.
Put your coat on.

--Werner Aspenström
