تسجيلA Single Nose

A tea set Of many cups With its noise and clouds of steam The clinking of spoons against rims after dissolving the sugar Differs From a silent, single Cup Wearily waiting on the edge of an antique writing desk For a sad lady To arrive in a moment. ... Clouds of steam (they differ when they rise from many cups or from a single one) Carry the flavour of delicious Indian leaves Collected, Dried, Packed and shipped by many hands To by drunk By others. ... The hiss of steam Becomes louder Than the noise of noses Sitting round a sizable set On an oval table In the middle of the room. ... Whereas, from a single cup A thin thread of steam climbs In silence, Weakly, Wearily seeking the nose of a lady Nobody visits. __________ Translated by Kees Nijland
