Poem of the Day
Austrian pastorals
i the lake that’s black in January.
Taken from 'Shrines of Upper Austria'...ii an a.m. running stream, mineral off the Loser mountain. iii stepped out the car in Ratten to a high clear air, „Die Post“, tractor. iv Wolfsburg, for instance, was a zone of deaf white. v and the Villach canal, sprayed with weed. vi I lived on a hill in Kärnten with piebald goats and barns. vii I’d go back to Tyrol’s whistling river, I’d go to Voralberg’s houses made from wooden feathers. viii I climbed forests of mountains and came out to insects, flowers, razed trees, cattle. where I walked the smooth roads daily, passing chickens and the ridge above the cemetery. |
