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

*The Time in Stones*

This week, a new translationfrom the
GERMAN:

Remembrance

And you wait, expecting that one thing
that your life endlessly shall multiply;
that one powerful, immense thing,
the awakening of stones,
depths, coming back to you.
Volumes of gold and brown emerge
as dawn out of the bookshelves;
and you reflect upon lands traveled through,
on images, on the garments
of women lost once again.

And then suddenly you realize: that was it.
You rise up and before you stands
the fear and shape and prayer
of a year gone by.

Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

FIRST FIRE

Burning candle, match lit, a solitary flame
passed on to a handful of dry pine.

Is there really this or that fire?
Or is there just f i r e?
a source ever-present.

Smell of smoke, pinched eyes, ears cracked open
as the primal flame bursts into awareness...

Deep within, the body moves to the music
sung to the sun-god brought down to earth.

Featured COMPOSITION:

Stone Song—

Based on eight English translations by Cliff Crego of poems
by the Dutch poet Gerrit Achterberg

Stone Song

Words going backwards
are on their way to you:
so that you may hear
your ears are gone.

Sentences inside out
because your knowing is gone.
Song to surround you
stone against stone.

Gerrit Achterberg
(tr. from the Dutch by Cliff Crego)
