Bir vurulmuş ilahı andırıyor
Suda yarasını teskin eden bu ay, 
Gece yarısı uzak sularda
Yıkanır, dinlenir, durur ve güler…

Eli bazen “sessizliği” ürkütüyor
Ki su ellerinde uyumuş,
Ediyor bazı kuşları davet,
Ah o kuşlar ki şimdi hareketsiz
Suların ateşinde sallanıyor…

Satürnsel  bir savaşın eseri:
Gizli bir sonsuz yaydan 
Oklar indikçe – uzak bir alemin yansıması – 
O parlak tanrısal gövdeden
Suya bir ateş gibi kan akıyor…	

Like a fallen deity, this moon,
Healing wounds in the water,
In the distant pools of the midnight
Bathes, rests, stays and smiles.

His hand sometimes disturbs the silence
-And in those hands sleeps the lake-
Inviting certain birds,
O those birds, now motionless,
Swaying in the fires of the waters...

The works of a Saturnian war:
As an endless curve of a secret bow
Sends its arrows – reflections of a distant world-
From that shining holy body flow
Streams of fiery blood into the water...
