Loose Translation

from Florida Tapes III by Human Hand

lyrics

Some say he should not have tried
Their words are theirs, our words are ours, we translate loose
Some say he should not have tried
Words in themselves, what can they say, what can they do
I am a western poet
You are an eastern snowfall, I translate loose
I am a wester poet
You're my Li Tai Po, my Rihaku

I simulate your presence sitting at home
alone on my couch
I think of thoughts I can't explain

I simulate your presence in a dark room
and watch the sunrise slowly flood the walls
