winter light : a sonnet












winter light- trees    ©fourteenth




I don't know why I love sonnets.
I can see one forming on a winter walk
The trees bowing in the evening light

Bee- eaters and a small brush left on a rock.













©fourteenth



The Bee-eaters circle above me. I let my small brush down on the rock.
All I can hear is their call. Will we ever meet again?

Thursday evening

Walking uphill
whirling circles
of windswept small, dry leaves
at my feet

Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you.

With infinite thanks

O Little Root of a Dream













©fourteenth







                        O little root of a dream 
                        you hold me here 
                        undermined by blood, 
                        no longer visible to anyone, 
                        property of death.

                        Curve a face
                        that there may be speech, of earth, 
                        of ardor, of
                        things with eyes, even
                        here, where you read me blind,

                        even 
                        here, 
                        where you 
                        refute me, 
                        to the letter.

                        Paul Celan

Χῶρες τοῦ ἥλιου καὶ δὲν μπορεῖτε ν᾿ ἀντικρίσετε τὸν ἥλιο.
Χῶρες τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ δὲν μπορεῖτε ν᾿ ἀντικρίσετε τὸν ἄνθρωπο.
