SAINT JULIAN
PRESS POET & TRANSLATOR
I’ll move the trees,
dancing for them,
and let them know
to be tender with me.
When I dance
I meet silence
and, bewitched,
shatter their sound.
Later your eyes will relax me
and I’ll wake or sink in the woods.
Like a sleepwalker I climb stairs
that lead to your sky.
Θα συγκινήσω τα δέντρα,
θα χορέψω γι’ αυτά.
Ειδοποίησέ τα
να γίνουν τρυφερά μαζί μου.
Όταν χορεύω
συναντώ τους ήχους τους
και παρασυρμένη
σπάω τη σιωπή.
Θα χαλαρώσω στα μάτια σου μετά --
ξημέρωμα στο δάσος ή καταβύθιση.
Σαν υπνοβάτης αναρριχώμαι στη σκάλα που οδηγεί στον ουρανό σου.
