Thanks especially to f.i.in.e moods for help with this revised translation!

:-,?



all tastes are natural (by alarian; revised translation by rob graber)


the psychology of the atoms
has its science and its teachers

from foolishness to foolishness
the world has its moods

known as the weather forecast
the apple divorces from the tree

sometimes making a child behind its back
beneath the tears of the sky

and the sentiments of the atom
sometimes make it make

or break the bonds of marriage



tous les goûts sont dans la nature

la psychologie des atomes
a sa science et ses maîtres

de fadaises en fadaises
le monde a ses humeurs

qu'on appelle la météo
la pomme divorce de l'arbre

lui fait parfois un enfant dans le dos
sous les larmes du ciel

et les sentiments de l'atome
font qu'il fusionne ou brise

parfois les liens du mariage

You describe lifes twists and turns, most poignantly, alarian/rob touch of fine moods, all I would say is that all children coming into our world, are meant to come, and in the way that they do, weather permitting, divorce or otherwise.

An interesting scientific look, but I don't think science can even get near to answering authoritively, these mysteries of procreation, no matter the degree of human knowledge.

It's natural you see?

Great job on the collaboration. Alarian, is a fine poet, as are both you rob and fine moods, although I haven't read much from her lately.


Smiling at you
