MIROSLAV HOLUB


 




                                                                                 

 

Miroslav Holub


 ( 1923-1998 )

 

The ímpetus of poetry lies always in the incommunicable

Traces which assail daily and almost pass imperceptibly,

The innumerable and inevitable correspondences we

Cannot but make collectively and with all the rigour

 

Of the common house spider building her web;

Tracing the intimacy of Brown glass with Red waxen

Seals and the fortune that is in all fermentation.

Not forgetting baking in the oven the indiscriminate bread,

 

Lighlty brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt,

Toasting a biscuit Brown only to be garnished with

Green beans and onion gently fried and accompanied

 

With cured ham from Italy. Tasting the poem...

With Beethoven audible and the dog sleeping visible.

Have you forgotten anything?
