They Are From There

They are, to me,
indecipherable as language,
but beautiful, too, barely
legible in the pen swoops
capturing landscape and loss,
the ancient land beneath them
barely there, yet remembered
like breathing, like singing,
like writing poems by candlelight
for someone else to read later

Today's Daily Create:
#tdc5014 #ds106 Translate a poem into English and share it with us
https://daily.ds106.us/tdc5014/

“Translate” a poem into English from a language with which you have limited familiarity. Be attentive to the texture of the language and allow your immediate impulses about what the words mean inform your interpretation. Be sure not to look at an English translation until you have finished writing your imagined translation.
