Sachs, Nelly: [The old couple] ([Die beiden Alten] in English)

Portre of Sachs, Nelly

[Die beiden Alten] (German)

Die beiden Alten
Hand in Hand sitzend
Zwillingsgestirn
leuchtend noch aus der verbrannten Musik
ihrer Vergangenheit
da sie starben als sie liebten -
verhext von der Magie eines schwarzen Prinzen
dieser ausgeschnittenen Silhouette der Nacht
auf der Netzhaut trauernd wie Schlaflosigkeit
während ihre Zukunft in Nägeln und Haaren
den Tod überwächst -

[The old couple] (English)

The old couple
sitting hand in hand
twin stars
still candescent in the charred music
of their past
where they died as they loved -
rapt in the magic of a dark prince
this silhouette scissored out of the night
grieving on the retina like sleeplessness
their future in hair and nails outgrowing
their death ever after -
