Zywa

Allured, enchanted

by the murmur of its voice --

Sea, sea everywhere.



Verleid, gegrepen
door haar zacht bruisende stem --	vom Geräusch seiner Stimme --
Zee, overal zee.	Meer, Meer überall.

Behind the reed mud

where the waves keep rolling out --

the vast dryland moans.



Achter het rietslik	,
waar de golven uitrollen --	wo die Wellen ausrollen --
kermt het droge land.	stöhnt das Trockenland.

Zywa Sea above the sea

There's a thin sea drifting
above the sea, I float
everywhere, infinitely
between ancestors
and unborn

The sea kisses and plays
pulls me under water
up in high foams
which splash apart into
my new rainbow wisps

over the sea, from the sea
the bearing sea
engulfing sea
evaporating sea

making depths out
of valleys, creative
darkness, the sea
the full empty sea
