Paul Celan from his mind to yours via translation

 











                                            You Michaela,
                                                and as you talk-
                                                  stammer, there:

                                                    You, aura,
                                                     and big-lipped like you,
                                                    Be-yidst, res-
                                                  ponded, Jewess,

                                               you, knowing-unknowing,
                                            at the point of indifference
                                         of the reflexion
                                    the bitter-planet spoke
                              overprecise.
