When I made you, I loved you
Now I pity you.
I gave you all you needed:
bed of earth, blanket of blue air-
As I get further away from you
I see vou more clearly.
Your souls should have been immense by now,

you wanted more, the one gift
reserved for another creation.
Whatever you hoped,
you will not find yourselves in the garden,
among the growing plants
Your lives are not circular like theirs:
your lives are the bird's flight
which begins and ends in stillness- which begins and ends, in form echoing
this arc from the white birch
to the apple tree.

英汉对照。诗歌不多,慢慢读,前几首的感觉很不错。

有點索德格朗的味道,關於神、自然、男性、女性、有限、無限。

神降的花园,昼夜的祈祷,孤独的倾诉。 学会爱上沉默与黑暗。 I didn't even know I felt grief until that word came, until I felt rain streaming from me .
