\"\"<\/p>\n

The hike report of this week ends with a poem by one of my favorite poets of all times. The WW I site he refers to is of course far from here, but our land, too, has seen its share of death inflicted by the colonialists.(Although I say with teary relief, there will be fewer dead after the Senate vote less night sunk the American Healthcare Freedom Act….. )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Ardennes Forest<\/p>\n

Cup your hands to scoop up sleep
\nas you would draw a grain of water
\nand the forest will come: a green cloud
\na birch trunk like a chord of light
\nand a thousand eyelids fluttering
\nwith forgotten leafy speech
\nthen you will recall the white morning
\nwhen you waited for the opening of the gates<\/p>\n

you know this land is opened by a bird
\nthat sleeps in a tree and the tree in the earth
\nbut here is a spring of new questions
\nunderfoot the currents of bad roots
\nlook at the pattern on the bark where
\na chord of music tightens
\nthe lute player who presses the frets
\nso the silent resounds<\/p>\n

push away leaves: a wild strawberry
\ndew on a leaf the comb of grass
\nfurther a wing of a yellow damselfly
\nand an ant burying its sister
\na wild pear sweetly ripens
\nabove the treacheries of belladonnas
\nwithout waiting for greater rewards
\nsit under the tree<\/p>\n

cup your hands to draw up memory
\nof the dead names dried grain
\nagain the forest: a charred cloud
\nforehead branded by black light
\nand a thousand lids pressed
\ntightly on motionless eyeballs
\na tree and the air broken
\nbetrayed faith of empty shelters<\/p>\n

that other forest is for us is for you
\nthe dead also ask for fairy tales
\nfor a handful of herbs water of memories
\ntherefore by needles by rustling
\nand faint threads of fragrances–
\nno matter that a branch stops you
\na shadow leads you through winding passages–
\nyou will find and open
\nour Ardennes Forest<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
