[Netherlands] Job Degenaar
Pandemic days (and other three poems)
In those days when a virus
paralyzed us, light and dark fused
to an ashen landscape, you desperately
searched for a way out
If only something, you thought, would come
from another world, a breath of wind in the tufts
of grass, a feather that would come from nowhere
a sweet smell, a dear gesture
To think that was enough: in the dense
cloud cover formed a thin light spot
(Translation into English by Job Degenaar)
What night does to a harbour
Weightless glinting water
the harbour lights sway
fisher boats lie
anchored in blue
A man, unstirring heron
sits cast in bronze
in his hand a dip-net
that leaks oiled daylight
he stirs, strikes hard
a splash, but nothing
other than his silhouette and net
and the river’s wrinkles
So empty it has now become
that someone sprinkles stars
and the intimate clamour calls to me
that blows in gusts from bars afar
The Art of Writing Poetry
I believe in the dandelion plume
which is quite a strain to catch
and that in one sigh you can blow away
as soon as you’re bored
That leaves one so much room
it almost isn’t there when it is
but that with delicate barbs
still binds the earth to itself
Evensong
Letting the day go by until
it became night and in the fruit bowl
the forgotten tangerine withered
in the distance the city glowed
igniting on its own
what was alive in icy fields
crawled into cocoons, raised
prickles against the stars
Only the diamond sky-hunters
cutting silently into granite
took us along, struck us off
until morning brought us bread
and words, as birds did twigs
(Translation into English by Willem Groenewegen)

疫情期间（外三首）
在病毒令我们
陷入瘫痪的日子里，光明和黑暗融合
成为一片灰蒙蒙的风景，你绝望地
寻找出路
你想，要是能从另一个世界
来点什么该多好啊，一缕拂过草丛的清风
一根不知来自何方的羽毛
一阵甜蜜的气息，一个亲切的手势
能想想就足够了：浓密的云层中
形成了一个薄薄的光点
(乔布·德根纳 英译；丁立群 汉译:)
夜幕下的港湾
水面轻柔，波光闪闪
港口灯光摇曳
渔船静静地
停泊在蓝色的港湾
一个男人，似不动声色的苍鹭
坐在青铜椅上
他手里握着抄网
网不住微醺的日光
他动起来，用力拍打
水花四溅，但什么也没有
只有他的轮廓和网
还有微皱的江水
现在一切如此空荡
有人便洒落了星光
从远处酒吧里传来阵阵
亲切的喧闹声，将我召唤
写诗的艺术
我相信要捕捉蒲公英的绒毛
并非易事
一旦你觉得无聊
只要一声叹息，你就能把它们吹散
这就留下了很大的空间
明明在的，却几乎感觉不到它的存在
但是那些纤细的小刺
仍将它自己和大地相连
晚祷
一天就这么过去，等到
白天变成了夜晚，果盘里
被遗忘的橘子干瘪
远处的都市独自亮着
泛着微光
冰冷的田野里有什么活物
紧紧蜷缩起来，对着星空
竖起了刺芒
只有金刚石般的天空猎手
默默地切入花岗岩
带我们来，带我们走
等到晨曦给我们带来面包
和话语，如同鸟儿有了枝头
(威廉·格罗纳维根 英译；丁立群 汉译)
