RACHEL KORN / GRIEF POEMS / MY SORROW

My Sorrow
Translated by Shulamis Yelin

My sorrow has yesterday’s vision
and the still wistful mien of today.
they’re wedded together by fancy
that weaned me from Fortune away.

It may be in nobody’s twilight.
as in a murky stream
will drown itself my sorrow
and I together with him.

The dream will remain on the outside
a step-child of twelfth-hour blight
and wonder how one can possibly
turn grey in a single night…
