SO MANY RELIGIONS
For Betty Chu
So many religions! Such splendid temples!
And not a single solace for the mind.
A cold expanse.
A lonely ocean wafting
greetings from Labrador.
Belfries—
golden steeples—
ampoules thrust into the sky,
needles
stuck into nonexistence...
And it no longer hurts.
And the sunset is a drug addict.
And no new romance begins.
Translated into English by Valentin Krustev & Alexander Taylor.
