I What about all this writing?
What about all this writing?
O „Kiki“
O Miss Margaret Jarvis
The backhandspring
I: clean clean
clean: yes . . New-York
Wrigley‘s, appendicitis, John Marin: skyscraper soup – –
Either that or a bullet!
(aus: William Carlos Williams, Spring and All, IX, 1923)
II Once anything Might have happened
Once anything might have happened
You lay relaxed on my knees –the starry night spread out warm and blind above the hospital –
Pah!
It is unclean which is not straight to the mark –
(aus: William Carlos Williams, Spring and All, IX, 1923)
III Solstice
The river is full
The time is ripe Give murderous thoughts rest
No leaves on the trees
A mild sun darkens the frosty earth
Quietness reigns
No birds, no wind
The shortest day of the year is favorable
(aus: William Carlos Williams, An Early Martyr and Other Poems, 1935)
IV In my life the furniture eats me
In my life the furniture eats me
the chairs, the floor the walls which heard your sobs drank up my emotion –they which alone know everything and snitched on us in the morning –What to want?
(aus: William Carlos Williams, Spring and All, IX, 1923)
V Drunk we go forward surely
Drunk we go forward surely Not I
beds, beds, beds elevators, fruit, night-tables breasts to see, white and blue –to hold in the hand, to nozzle
It is not onion soup
Your sobs soaked through the walls breaking the hospital to pieces
Everything – windows, chairs obscenely drunk, spinning –white, blue, orange – hot with our passion
wild tears, desperate rejoinders my legs, turning slowly end over end in the air!
But what would you have?
(aus: William Carlos Williams, Spring and All, IX, 1923)
VI The Locust Tree in flower Among of green stiff old bright broken branch come white sweet May again
(aus: William Carlos Williams, An Early Martyr and Other Poems, 1935)
VII all I said was All I said was: there, you see, it is broken
stockings, shoes, hairpins your bed, I wrapped myself round you – –I watched.
You sobbed, you beat your pillow you tore your hair you dug your nails into your sides
I was your nightgown I watched!
(aus: William Carlos Williams, Spring and All, IX, 1923)
VIII Clean is he alone
Clean is he alone after whom stream the broken pieces of the city – –flying apart at his approaches but I merely caress you curiously fifteen years ago and you still go about the city, they say patching up sick school children
(aus: William Carlos Williams, Spring and All, IX, 1923)
