*THE VIEW TO INFINITY AND BACK*

This week, five new translations from the
GERMAN [with intro, recordings & poster]:
[It's possible, I'm moving through the hard veins . . .]

It's possible, I'm moving through the hard veins
of heavy mountains, like an ore, alone;
I'm so deep inside, I see no end in sight,
and no distance: everything is getting near
and everything near is turning to stone.

I still can't see very far into suffering,—
so this vast darkness makes me small;
are you the one: make yourself powerful, break in:
so that your whole Hand may happen to me,
and to you may happen, my whole cry.


Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.


A Garden Pea

A pea plant climbing to the sun,
little three-fingered hands, reaching,
spiraling out in search of support,

  a movement of connection,
  a meaning unfolding,
  a plant weaving itself
  into the world.

A pea plant in isolation?
Finding nothing, folding back,
tendrils turning in upon themselves,

  a pattern broken,
  an empty hand
  retreats into
  self-embrace,

    the essence of art denied.
