Poetry

Fatum

By Mario Wirz
Translated from German by Renate Latimer
On the bottom of the seas / the gods are sleeping

On the bottom of the seas                                                                        
the gods are sleeping                                                                                
and dreaming                                                                                             
our fate                                                                                                     
Sometimes they are turning                                                                      
over                                                                                                          
and storms arise                                                                                                                                                                                                         
 

English

On the bottom of the seas                                                                        
the gods are sleeping                                                                                
and dreaming                                                                                             
our fate                                                                                                     
Sometimes they are turning                                                                      
over                                                                                                          
and storms arise
