*The Fall Umbel's Small Universe*

This week, seven new translations from the
DUTCH:



Homeward Traveler

In the train. Time passes with dream.
Upon the panes sways the sunset hour.
Once I have arrived at your door,
Once again, I'll be closer to my death.

But there I shall have sat me down
in satiety and in the lamps soft glow.
Everything I shall have forgotten
But this one thing: to be with you.

This love knows neither turn nor going,
Knows not distance and fleeting hour;
The one forced by its desire
In its hunger for eternity.

O I cannot make my heart believe
--Heart, grown use to every absence--
That a moment can extinguish
That for which a life is not too long.

J.C. Bloem (1887-1966)  (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

Barn Work

(1)

Working in the barn all day,
moving manure from here
to there.

Evening, and the low door opens
all by itself. Walking out the door,
I bump my head against the stars.

(2)

Life inside the stomach of a cow!

Low ceiling, pigshit smells,
moving manure from here to
there.

Late summer hay is mid-winter joy.
The goat's eyes are filled with delicate
bells pouring over into the sweetness
of milk. A last drop and the bucket is full,
the gentle waves of a warm evening wind.

(3)

The gift of labor.

Working together on a neighbor's
farm, moving manure from here
to there.

An old wheelbarrow,
the wooden handle's worn thin
as a bone—on one side only—the
right side.

They say his older brother
died young.
