‘UNDER THE FLOOD
they fly, past
raised black
sacrificial stones,

the sadness endlessly earth-bound
in the
shafts of landing gear,

drunken air-scribes in
the slopes of longing,

fragments of future findings, silver,
in
the cranial cockpit,

tunnels of vision
blown into the fog of speech,

self-kindling flowers
on every cable,

in the great wheel
not yet worn away,
your shadow, Saturn,
etched deep.’

--Paul C*lan, Last Po*ms (tr Katharin* Washburn, 1986)
