Summer Report (Sommerbericht)

No longer crossed, the carpet of thyme
is bypassed instead.
A blank line beaten
through the heather.
No windfall in the storm swath.

Encounters once again with
scattered words, like
riprap, scrubgrass, time.

– Paul Celan, from Sprachgitter (S. Fischer Verlag, 1959), translated by Nikolai Popov & Heather McHugh in Glottal Stop (Wesleyan University Press, 2000)
