(LIFE AFTER ALL)

(LIFE AFTER ALL) ( See original )

1

To sculpt the sound
To contain the colour
To find the word


2

The bright sun full on your face
The rapt flight of happiness
The silent currents of water


3

The music of childhood
The secrecy of hatred
The scratches of solitude


4

Under a sky high and nimble with clouds
To arrest the clamour of an instant
The acrobatics of the inexperienced heart


5

Only is everything said
When nothing is

Translated by Jonathan Boulting
