Continuation
He had pressed the bounds of his body together;
he heard them singing;
it was the sound of motion,
the sound of renewal in the push and pull of the waves.
He looked at himself,
at the extent of his being, which was warping,
at his existence, which had shriveled in the narrowness.
All the soil's capacity for roots, farther off,
amid the motion of water and star and sun,
was his continuation.
He was drawn toward the single air outside,
broke the rampart,
and cast his being
into the ring of light's warm arm;
the wheat field blossomed,
the wheat field blossomed...

امتداد
Sunlight, Moonlight
حدود تنش را فشرده بود به هم
شنید می خوانند
صدای جنبش بود
صدای تازه شدن در کشکش امواج .
به خود نگاهی کرد
به امتداد وجودش که تاب برمی داشت
به هستی اش که چروکیده بود در تنگی .
تمام ریشه پذیری خاک ، آن سو تر
میان جنبش آب و ستاره و خورشید
ادامه ی او بود .
کشیده شد به هوای یگانه ی بیرون
شکسته بارو را
و هستی خود را
درون حلقه ی بازوی گرم نور افکند
شکفت گندمزار
شکفت گندمزار ...
