De Röök - The Smoke

De Röök
stiggt to'n Heben.
De rode Schien
speelt op de Gesichten.
Ehr Lachen
hangt in de Boom
blangen de Appels.

Un du
steihst
buten de Kring
in't Schummern.

(Anja Meyfarth, Kiel, Germany)

The smoke
is rising to the sky.
The red light
is playing on the faces.
Their laughter
is hanging in the tree
next to the apples.

And you
are standing
outside the circle
in the light of dusk.

(Translation by Ron F. Hahn, Seattle)

    I like this, especially the smoke.
