INTERMUNDIUM OR KNOWLEDGE MEANS MELANCHOLY

translated by dint of Rosmarie Waldrop



my father in no degree told me of the daughters
of jethru
of affliction and ero of electricity
I learned inferior hand
and the concordance
of exact science spreaded
no wider than a crack
I institute
keywords locked from within
filaments with scant life

noah's drunkennes I reckon among
the most beautiful riddles
because he was angry at his son
and the man who, because it was beautiful
wore opposite the pitcher's rim with kisses
why must he have been a natural
but now vast parts of the earth
are tubers scraped
