Helen Dwyer<br />

Returned emigrant<br />

New again,<br />

Yet old.<br />

Same smiles,<br />

Same cold breeze<br />

Bruising the corners<br />

Where lovers meet.<br />

Same warm pub lights<br />

Beckon and promise friendship insi<strong>de</strong>.<br />

Smokey air,<br />

Murmurs rise.<br />

Wet city streets<br />

Reflect the sights,<br />

Sleeping bags in doorways<br />

On rainy Dublin nights.<br />

Emigrant reîntors<br />

Iarăşi nou,<br />

Totuşi vechi.<br />

Aceleaşi zâmbete,<br />

Aceeaşi briză rece<br />

Învineţind colţurile<br />

Un<strong>de</strong> se-ntâlnesc iubiţii.<br />

Aceleaşi lumini cal<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> pub<br />

Cheamă şi promit prietenie-năuntru.<br />

Aer plin <strong>de</strong> fum,<br />

Se aud murmure.<br />

Străzi <strong>de</strong> oraş u<strong>de</strong><br />

Reflectă priveliştile,<br />

Saci <strong>de</strong> dormit la uşi<br />

În ploioase nopţi din Dublin.<br />

the gar<strong>de</strong>n<br />

of remembrance<br />

I bathe my eyes in the<br />

watercross<br />

the watercross crosses<br />

my heart<br />

and I’m floating over old<br />

grief and hope<br />

and all of a sud<strong>de</strong>n<br />

un<strong>de</strong>rground<br />

I lie low<br />

drinking the vibrating<br />

holy water<br />

and I cover my body<br />

with earth in<br />

awe<br />

to feel freedom<br />

only my left wing stirs<br />

the earth<br />

and reminds me of<br />

the soul<br />

the earth brings<br />

to light<br />
