Wash Poem by Jane Kenyon

Wash

Rating: 4.1


All day the blanket snapped and swelled
on the line, roused by a hot spring wind....
From there it witnessed the first sparrow,
early flies lifting their sticky feet,
and a green haze on the south-sloping hills.
Clouds rose over the mountain....At dusk
I took the blanket in, and we slept,
restless, under its fragrant weight.

Da lì ha osservato il primo passero, le mosche mattiniere che sollevano i piedi appiccicosi, e una nebbiolina verde sulle colline degradanti verso sud. Nuvole si sono levate sopra la montagna.. All'imbrunire Ho riportato dentro la coperta, e abbiamo dormito, irrequieti, sotto il suo fragrante peso.
