Translation
Bilingual
The myth is neither here nor there, from the air
It's just blue lake stained and green
And purified and parcelled squares
It's a quilt of spearmint and mustard and honey tone
A scuffed-up kitchen floor
And tiles on top of bones with a big trap door
Towns down diagonal lines
Disappear and drop out of sight
Into the night
Beyond the endless night (the Starpainters are taking over now)
And underneath the grit and glare (the scaffolding is)
In the unfettered nothingness (in its place)
Of thin air (your anaesthesiol-)
Herds of clouds lazily graze (-ogist tonight, is)
On thermal sighs of delight (washing up, she's on her way)
The Starpainters are taking over now
The scaffolding is in its place
Your anaesthesiologist tonight
Is washing up, and on her way
