*THE POETRY OF COMING & GOING*

This week, two new translations from the
GERMAN [with intro, recordings & poster]:

DEPARTURE

How I've come to sense this thing called departure.
How I still know: a dark unscathed
cruel something, holding up a delicate braid,
showing it to us again, only to tear it apart.

How defenseless I was, looking upon
that which, calling to me as it left me,
remained behind, as if it were all women
and yet small and white and not quite that:

A waving, already no longer meant for me,
followed by lightly echoing waves—, all
but inexplicable: a plum tree perhaps
out of which a cuckoo, hastily, flew away.

Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

A Village Cafe

Sitting at a table
sharing stories in a
small cafe,

round ripples of laughter
resonate in the wine—

four glasses,
one movement.
