Zoltán Böszörményi
On the Periphery of the Universe
translated by Paul Sohar
(Az universum permen)
in the middle of a galaxy light years away
infinity is laughing loudly with a metallic ring
in the foggy clearing a palm tree stands
on it a russet feathered bird warbles
with pure and heart-wrenching
sentiment
you forget all unhappy thoughts
and the frozen solitude
of the ever-expanding space
along with tomorrow’s work
you don’t even notice how
the gravitational force of your heart
bends the space-time continuum
you remain lost in daydreams
on the periphery of the universe
listening to the unselfconscious song
of the russet feathered bird
