\nDuchamp
\nWith a bottlewasher, 3 hooked safety-pins
\nand a wing-nut
\nit is possible to create a world.
\nAnd with bicycle wheels,
\nboxes, typewriter cases,
\nhall-stands, glass bubbles,
\ndust, bottles of perfume,
\ncardboard, grease, nails, iodine, golden stars.
\nA world sugar baby first date<\/a> no less beautiful than this one,
\nno less terrible.
\n(translation \u2013 Brian Cole)
\nToward the rudder\u2026
\nToward the rudder
\nbeyond the fog, where
\nthere is room for man and ghost
\nfinally fulfilled, sated with self
\nand world. Or, perhaps, toward
\na fleeting foam
\nupon the surface,
\na cauldron of burning coals
\nagainst the lurking plague.
\nOr, may be, toward a burning log
\nbefore it\u2019s dropped into the sea,
\nthe last oil in the lamp,
\nlove before usury takes over,
\nthe crickets\u2019 chirp
\non the eve of the Flood.
\n(translation \u2013 Ricardo Nirenberg)
\nNo one pulls the drowning from the water
\nNo one pulls the drowning from the water
\nto bury them, they remain
\nfloating on their sugar dating fake accounts<\/a> backs, just beneath the surface.
\nThey drown out of love,
\ndistraction, anguish,
\nout of fascination with the abyss,
\nout of weariness. In their own way, they popular sugar dating sites Philippines<\/a> continue to breathe;
\nthey pursue, in their own way, the light.
\nEach night, they repeat, in their pure
\nlanguage, without subjunctives,
\nthe silent and largest sugar dating platform Philippines<\/a> pure tongue of the drowned,
\nthe same and only poem,
\nthat those of us still not drowning
\ndon\u2019t know and if we knew it,
\nwe wouldn\u2019t understand.
\n(translation \u2013 Jonah Gabry)
\nWhat did we do?
\nWhat did we do? The day
\nat its final plea,
\nand the lamps that are lit
\nlittle by little. And now?
\nShould we take the vowels out of words
\nso that darkness is delayed
\neven just a little?
\nThe other digs with most popular sugar dating platform Philippines<\/a> a shovel in the mud.
\nThe other reads in the ash.
\nThe other makes a hole in a wall of sugar relationship compatibility<\/a> his house
\nso that the wind may penetrate.
\nThe other sits down, unwound,
\nin an armchair of lacquered wood.
\nWe are not the others, sign up for sugar dating Philippines<\/a> we can\u2019t be.
\nWhat is left to us? What,
\nnaked, is left to us? What reason
\nor dream or figure remains?
\nOne thing trusted sugar dating platforms Philippines<\/a> we do know, yes, since Goethe:
\nalways, at the edge of the river,
\nthe drowned girl appears
\nand, a little later sugar dating educational support<\/a> and not far away,
\nup stream, the book.
\n(translation \u2013 Jonah Gabry)
