A Snow Mill


A SNOW MILL

scratched like a plank
the joiner sets aside
I walk along the river, call down seven thunders
bright & regal on my head

beneath the bridges winter birds fly here & there
the water empty
high above our heads the snow mill’s
crunch of straw


Derived from a poem by Jan Skacel

Transcreations from Czech by Jerome Rothenberg & Milos Sovak
