Isvecli sair ve roman yazari Karin Maria Boye’nin dogum yildonumu (26 Ekim 1900)
Elbet aci duyar tomurcuklar acarken.
Neden gecikirdi yoksa bahar gelmekte?
neden bizim atesli ozlemimiz
donup gitsin acilarla?
Yapraklarin icindeydi tomurcuklar butun kis.
Nedir yeni olan, dogan ve fiskiran?
Elbet aci duyar tomurcuklar acarken,
aci duyar buyurken her sey zorlanir.
Guctur elbet damlaların dususu.
Korkudan titreyerek asildiklari yerden,
ne kadar sarilsalar da dallara buyuyerek, kayarak
kurtuluş yoktur, duserler agirliklariyla topraga.
Guctur bilinmezlik, guvensizlik ve korku,
guctur ucurumlarda cagirmak birini,
tutunabilmek titreyerek
guctur kalabilmek
dusebilmek.
Hicbir şeyin yarari yoktur dogusa
sevincle fiskirir tomurcuklar dallarda
tum korkular yok olur
isildar damlalar
unuturlar dogusun korkusunu
unuturlar yolculugun korkusunu
o buyuk guvenceyi duyarlar aninda
dunyayi yaratan.
Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking.
Why else would the springtime falter?
Why would all our ardent longing
bind itself in frozen, bitter pallor?
After all, the bud was covered all the winter.
What new thing is it that bursts and wears?
Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking,
hurts for that which grows
and that which bars.
Yes, it is hard when drops are falling.
Trembling with fear, and heavy hanging,
cleaving to the twig, and swelling, sliding -
weight draws them down, though they go on clinging.
Hard to be uncertain, afraid and divided,
hard to feel the depths attract and call,
yet sit fast and merely tremble -
hard to want to stay
and want to fall.
Then, when things are worst and nothing helps
the tree's buds break as in rejoicing,
then, when no fear holds back any longer,
down in glitter go the twig's drops plunging,
forget that they were frightened by the new,
forget their fear before the flight unfurled -
feel for a second their greatest safety,
rest in that trust
that creates the world.
