TRANSLATION OF A POEM WRITTEN BY A FRIEND WHO WAS CHILDLESS

 

Dislocated moments.   Times 

of isolation.   Sudden

 

Shifts of mood—behind

a flat-voiced façade:  Lies

about having forgotten.

 

An elusive child

that laughs in dreams.

 

A casual warm touch

that might turn even God

from all his thought.   So much,

 

So much, that I … I’ll kiss

the mouth of the wind, and let

my silent moments knit

into forgetfulness.

A PHILOSOPHICAL VALENTINE

 “Roses are red, violets are blue,

“Come to my bed, for my love is true,”

Was never said to me.

So I must think of something new.

 

So why not just be me?

If there’s nothing else to do,

Try autobiography.

Omit the fictional “you.”

 

Just present, like Van Gogh, my life’s truth—

The poor bed, the rude chair, the worn shoes and boots….

 

But present them to whom?  To some “you”?

And if that makes “you” real?  In your reality, 

What would I be?

Would there really be a true me?

Can there truly be a real “you”?

Could any of this really be true?
