Poetry from The Literary Review
Winter
Ioana Ieronim
|
|
it all passed in dreams heat torpidity
as if spinning in the den of a newly born bearcub
that no one may see and know
wrapped up in snows within the belly of the earth—except for the angel
who with a square rule and compass
gathers us all into a simplissima figura
placing the pointer at the spot
where the sky sticks to the earth
Translated from the Romanian by Carrie Messenger
