White Line Above Eyebrows From Waxing



My German is fairly basic, & I can't tell all the nuances where the translators have chosen different words for the same thing. But it's so interesting to see how the translations differ, and what the issues are for any translation. I'm very honoured to have had you all paying such close attention to the poem (and pleased that you chose Powerpoint, which I'm very fond of). And I hope we can get an event going next year.

Shingles And Hair Dye



I'm fascinated by this work. In particular I congratulate the translators; my poem, with its "litany" of names which have a mystery and a romance even to English readers, must I imagine, have been a curious challenge! It is an honour for me to have my work so carefully considered, and I hope the process has been useful from the students' point of view.

Prefabs

Built to last twenty years,
like peace, they thought—
like marriage—fighter planes
and bombs were melted down
for roof and walls. Enduring,
they grow perennials, pink-bordered
wallpaper, carpets, trellis,
lawns. All night the blackout
sheltering rain gunfires
their corrugated silences.

Fifty years, and privet thick
as cottage walls. The lean-to blooms
dark multistories of tobacco tins,
his hoard, his smell. She loves
to pollinate the cucumber flowers,
those pale, summer openings,
with a soft brush,
tenderly.

Temporary as their stay,
their sudden leaving. Looking back,
they watch through masks of wire
and barb, machines, smoke,
sirens. They’ve seen it all
before, unblinking lidless
windows, rosy paper torn
open to rain, trodden poppies
littering unmown grass.

Return is permanent. Something new;
red brick, roof tiled, built to last
like peace
like marriage.
Landscaped and without a shed
they sit, they sleep,
demolished by such insulated
guarantees, such fitted kitchenness
such silent, silent rain.

Powerpoint

I have circled the planet.
to the golden land of my forefathers,
the Ark on their holy mountain,
I saw the inside of a cloth bag
put over my head, on my hands and ankles
a steel concert, blood, the refusal of the limbs.
Oh, my grandfather in the palaces of the Emperor!

I was between the continents
like roses shipped from Colombia, half-frozen packaged
hidden layers above the clouds.
Calculate the weight of my soul in transport miles, air fields, stars.

Where I was unloaded, it was the Same
in tropical heat or cold, in haubengedimmten light
whitewashed walls, in airport lounges,
the guards, trained
by the same pin-striped men, in seminar rooms
I'm trying to picture; Power Point images,
role play, perhaps, with laughter, or
demonstration of a doll, sewn in India or Taiwan.
your Jutehaut my complexion, my scars.

Powerpoint

I orbited the Earth
above the sand-colored land of my ancestors,
the Ark on their holy mountain, I saw
das Innere eines Baumwollsacks
über meinen Kopf gezerrt; an meinen Handgelenken und Fußknöcheln
Erschütterungen von Stahl, Blut, und die Verweigerung meiner Glieder.
Ach, mein Großvater in den Palästen des Kaisers!

Ich wurde verfrachtet von Kontinent zu Kontinent
ähnlich kolumbianischer Rosen, halbgefroren verpackt,
verborgen über den Wolkenschichten. Errechne
das Gewicht meiner Seele in Food Miles, Flugplätzen, Sternen.

Wo immer ich entladen wurde, es war das Gleiche
in tropischer Hitze oder im Frost, im verdeckverzerrtem Licht
gespiegelt von gekalkten Wänden, in Hangars;
die Wärter trainiert
von den gleichen Nadelstreifenmännern, in Hörsälen,
die ich mir vorzustellen versuche: Powerpoint Bilder,
Rollenspiele womöglich, mit Gelächter, oder Simulation
an einem Mannequin genäht in Indien oder Taiwan,
dessen Haut aus Rupfen meine Farbe, meine Narben.

Übersetzt von Maria Luise Schlay



Powerpoint

Ich habe den Planet umrundet
Über dem goldbraunen Land meiner Ahnen,
die Bundeslade auf dem heiligen Berg,
ich habe das Innere eines Baumwollsacks gesehen
über den Kopf gestülpt; an den Handgelenken und Knöcheln
den Aufschlag vom Stahl und Blut gespürt, Bindungsversagen
Oh my grandfather in the emperor's palaces.

I was transported between continents
originating from Colombia as roses, packaged semi-frozen, over
secretly cloud cover. Calculate
the burden of my soul in Esswaren-mile, airports, stars.

Wherever I also I was unloaded, always the same
in tropical heat or frost, in the distorted light
whitewashed domes, in hangars;
the guards trained
by the same pin-stripe-bearing men, in auditoriums
I try to imagine Power Point images,
RPG perhaps laughter, or simulation
on a sewn in India or Taiwan Mannequin,
sein Gewebe aus Jute, meine Farbe, meine Narben.

yanked down over my head; at my wrists and ankles
percussion of steel, blood, and the links’ negation.

I have been freighted between the continents
like roses from Colombia, packed half-frozen,

all that nimble bloody-mindedness.
Four shell-backs at my window, a miniature
crocheting bee, the workers ambitious

They have a plan and they stick

folies de grandeur to rival Ludwig’s.
No need for safety nets or crampons:
watch them hang by a thread, free-
fall in slow-motion through

He's back, the fiery stripes on your table,
it is higher now, in the morning out on the opposite chimney
he gives your shoulders through the window,
a taste the illuminating time is coming.
Despite the promise of a scorching heat,
you say it welcome unconditionally
You praise still the bright unframed face
and you can not feel you near
Hindu Moeche sitting cross-legged,
in a row on the beach, the reds and yellows of their
Westen und Gesichter voll leuchtend
im ausgedehnten grozügigem Licht,
während sie die Gebetsperlen vor der See berühren,
ihre Mantras wispernd, nicht wiedergeboren zu sein,
und Rinnsale von Sand strömen weg im Wind.
Nein, du kannst sie überhaupt nicht verstehen
dein Herz ist “geschnürt an ein sterbendes Tier”, kein Zweifel,
aber du fühlst dich gesund mit Verlangen,
sitzend an deinem warmen erleuchteten Tisch,
deine Arme abgelegt auf die geschmeidigen sonnenbeschienen Ritzen aus Kirsch-Holz
mit zeitlich erneuerter, zurückkehrender Hautfarbe.

Übersetzt von Anna Barbara Braun


Überfluss

Er ist zurück, der feurige Streifen auf deinen Tisch,
er steht nun höher, frühzeitig draußen über den gegenüberliegenden Dach,
er gibt deinen Schultern, durch die Fensterscheibe,
einen Vorgeschmack auf die leuchtende Zeit, die ansteht.
Trotz des Versprechens einer stechenden Hitze
wirst du ihn willkommen heißen, ohne Zurückhaltung.
Lautlos preist du den ungerahmten glänzenden Gesichtsausdruck
und doch kannst du dich nicht den Hindu Mönche
verbunden fühlen, die mit gekreuzten Beinen
in einer Reihe am Strand sitzen, das Rot und Gelb
ihrer Gewänder und ihre Gesichter voll erhellt
im ausgedehnten, großzügigen Light, while
slide the prayer beads in the face of the sea through her fingers and her mantra
whisper to be born again
and fractions of sand in the wind blow over.
No, you can not understand,
your heart is "a dying animal attached", no doubt,
but with desire you feel healthy
by you sitting on your warm-lit table,
your arms rest on the smooth , sunlit cherry wood strips to the renewed
time, returning skin color.

praise Still you the unframed glossy face
And can not you close feel
the Hindu monks who succession
sit cross-legged on the beach,
the red and yellow of their robes and glowing faces
in broad soft light,
while touch the coral from the sea, whispering
born again, not their mantra to be
and sand grains continued to flow in the wind.
No, you understand they can not even
Your heart is one, dying animal 'is fixed, no doubt

It’s back, the fiery stripe on your table,
it’s higher now, out early above the opposite roof,
it gives your shoulders, through the window pane,
a foretaste of the luminous time to come.
Despite the promise of a clawing heat
you welcome it, without reserve.
You silently praise the unframed radiant countenance
and can’t feel close
to the Hindu monks who sit cross-legged
in a row on the beach, the reds and yellows
of their vests and faces full bright
in the broad bountiful light,
while they finger the coral beads in front of the sea
whispering their mantras not to be reborn
and trickles of sand stream away in the wind.
No, you can’t understand them at all,
your heart is “fastened to a dying animal”, no doubt,
but you feel healthy with desire
sitting illuminated at your table warm, settled
your arms on the sunlit smooth cherry-wood lines,
's renewed on time, homecoming complexion. Davide Trame

They have shared still late October,
but salt stones and a broken tree,
the peeled paint on the lifeboat house
chime with places where the glass falls,
prime sources encountering night’s bald predications.

Everywhere winter edges in,
And now the time is ten to six…

Lightness and weight, air’s potentials
pressed into words, implication;
here —on all coasts —listening grows passionately tense.

Fair Isle, Faeroes, South East Iceland,
North Utsire, South Utsire,
Fisher, German Bight, Tyne, Dogger…
This pattern of names on the sea —
weather’s unlistening geography —paves water.

Beyond the music, the singing
of sounds —this minimal chanting,
this ritual pared to the bone
becomes the cold poetry of information.

The litany edges closer —
Lundy, Fastnet and Irish Sea…
Routine enough, all just routine.
Always his eyes guessing beyond
the headland, she perhaps sleeping, no words spoken.

He stretches forward to grasp it,
claims his radio place — and now
the weather reports from coastal stations
and then: Malin Head
—such routine
that she barely glances up, but hears now falling.
