*NIGHT FLAME*

This week, A new translation from the
GERMAN:

The Silence

Do you hear, Beloved, I'm lifting my hands—
Do you hear: there's a rustling....
Which gestures of the solitary one
have not been overheard by the many things?
Do you hear, Beloved, I'm closing my eyelids
and even that is noise to you.
Do you hear, Beloved, I'm lifting them again......
... but why are you not here.

The impression of my smallest movement
remains visible in the silky silence;
indestructibly, the least excitement presses
itself upon the tense curtain of the distance.
Stars in the night sky rise and fall
with my every breath.
Fragrances come to my lips to drink,
and I recognize the wrists
of distant angels.
Only the one of whom I think: You,
I do not see.

Rainer Maria Rilke (tr. Cliff Crego)

Featured Picture/Poem:.

A Poor Man's Vacation

The bench had been freshly
painted a bright red, made all
the brighter by the surrounding
light greens of forest spring.

A man, grizzly, unkempt,
with few clothes, (How could he
make it through the mountain night?)
but with a certain refinement
in his gestures, belongings
pouring out of his bag onto the path. [...]
