Breeding lilacs out of the dead land

April har varit som början på Det öde landet. Men nu ska det väl bli liv i rötterna tänker jag.

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering	5
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
