This is the first one off of his that I translated
as the one that turned me on to Wanda,
so I hope somebody shares the taste.
Life draws a tree and death draws another one
Life draws a nest and death copies it
Life draws a bird to live in the nest and right away death
draws another bird
A hand that draws nothing wanders among the drawings
and at times moves one of them
For example, a bird of life occupies death's nest
on the tree that life drew
Other times the hand that draws nothing blots
out one drawing of the series
For example, the tree of death holds the nest of death,
but there's no bird in it
And other times the hand that draws
nothing itself changes into an extra image
in the shape of a bird, in the shape of a tree,
in the shape of a nest
And then only then nothing's missing and nothing's left over
For example, two birds occupy life's nest in death's tree
Or life's tree holds two nests with only one bird in them
Or a single bird lives in the one nest on the tree of life
and the tree of death
