Kit Kelen #23 - dreaming and waking - after translating Yao Feng's poem on a similar theme


lost

I can't even remember what it was –
the thing I was looking for in my dream
the thing I'd lost

something you lose in a dream
shows up in the afternoon

there are days on end
the line is gone
you feel like a fool to stand and call

it goes the other way too
the red king
and the candle
a lake of wax
and still not guttered

people find me in a dream
how did I get there?

sometimes we wander along together
then daylight comes into it

the place where I am woken
is never twice the same 






some streets in Barcelona
