In this midsummer night

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After sunset

there are swallows gathering

above the apple trees.

 

They pass my ear

with the sound of

feathers and wind,

 

Then come together high

and disappear

 

Leaving me with tears

wishing I could bring

you their song

 

A fast flow of joy,

a stream of pearls and gems

from glowing spines

under golden clouds

in northern summer nights.

 

 

 

 

 

Now who goes to sleep

when the sun is traveling

just below the horizon

and every leaf on every tree

is waiting for the moment

to be like dancing flames?
