Sabbaths, W.I.

by Derek Walcott

Jene Drfer angeschlagen mit dem melancholia von Sonntag, in allen
dessen ockerhaltige Straen ein Hund schlft

jene Vulkane wie ashen Rosen, oder die unheilbare Wunde der Armut, um
deren ffnung dnne Jungen verzog, verkaufen gelben
Schwefelstein

die gebrannten Banane Bltter, die verwendeten, den Flu zu tanzen,
dessen Bett von defekten Flaschen die Kakaowaldung gebildet wird, wo
Tne eines deren Schreies des Vogels grn und gelb und in den
Lichtern unter den Blttern erklommen mit orange Flamme hatte
vergessen seine Flte

gommiers, die vom Sonnenbrand noch wringt, um dem Meer zu
entgehen abziehen

das drehenblau der toten Eidechse als Stein

jene Flsse, Gewinde von Spittle, die die alte Musik vergaen

dieses trockene, kurze esplanade unter den trockeneren Seemandeln, in
denen die trockenen alten Mnner sassen

das Aufpassen eines weien schooner haftete in den Niederlassungen
und im Spielen der Entwrfe mit den beweglichen
Fregattevgeln

jene Abhnge mgen defekte Tpfe

jene Farne, die ihre Skelette auf der Haut stempelten

und jene Straen, die anfangen, ihre Namen an den vespers
reciting

sie erwhnen und sie stoppen jene Krabben, die lieen einen
Epochedurchlauf jene Reiher wie die Spinsters bereit waren, die ihre
Reflexionen bezweifelten, die sich erkundigen und sich
erkundigten

jene Nesseln, die jene Sonntage warteten, jene Sonntage

jene Sonntage, als die Lichter am Ende der Strae eine Gelegenheit
waren

jene Sonntage, als meine Mutter auf sie zurck jene Sonntage legen,
als die Schwestern wie weie Motten ringsum ihre Strae Laterne
erfaten

und Stdte fhrten uns vorbei auf dem Horizont
