hartistry: November 2008

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.

I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

This Moment in Time" by David Hart (Eng+Arabic)

"This Moment in Time" by David Hart
Leaves gleefully joyride
an undulating stream
Under crisp scintillating
sun light.
A butterfly rests in the
hand of God.
A sword is tightly clasped
in Allah's hand.
A flower is caressed by
the Buddha.
Now a break in fervent
faith occurs.
A group of children laugh
and peer at an ant farm.
A butterfly ascends from
the hand of God.
A sword cascades to the
ground from Allah's hand.
A small child delights
upon receiving the Buddha's
flower.
A giddy wind now weaves lovingly
through ticklish trees.

"Ahora" por David Hart (Translation by Daniel Tucker Jan 2008)
Vamos, ahora, tú y yo,

Mientras de la tarde extende
Al cielo, azul y negro.
Procedemos por
Calles particulares de

Piedras lisas,
A retratamientos,
incoherentes y locos,

A restaurantes con
Mesas de paño blanco,
A hoteles con cuatro estrellas
Con chocolates en las almohadillas,

con amigos acariciados
Y exponemos de hechos, grandes y nobles,
Y luego,

A calles del baile que
Tentan nuestos pies.

Y, la verdad, este tiempo es ahora
Este momento galante en el tiempo.
Ahora, vientos de risa
Estallan por
La azotea mientras de giran

En el cielo, caliente y oscuro, y luego

Despieden ahora para cosquillear

las tapas de nuestras cabezas.
El tiempo es ahora
Y será sin fin.

No hay tiempo para el pasado.
No hay tiempo para el futuro.

no existen en realidad.
Ahora solamente existe.
Ahora será el momento.
Ahora siempre será el momento.
Sin fin, ahora.
