Prayer of the Ostrich -Translated by Katherine Silver + Robin Myers

Spare me the clamor, O Lord—the hum of things that split and spoil,the unbearable sound of things collapsing. And if I hear it, letme slip into my houseand hide.

Above the lone street and the gardens:the eternal sky. And that light we heardripping from nowhere. A stubborn trillthat transcends forms:the limits of the tree and the earth,the borders of […]
