what is started with the heart is easily released
with the heart, this need not cause despair.
in general, one has the freedom of most of one's organs,
except a hand when she's asleep and the exhausted rod.
but true sorrow lies elsewhere. give it a wide berth.
go astray in surrounding fields till morning is near, before
you're sought between the pylons, months later,
and you think you've worked it out.

Translation: Willem Groenewegen
