ELEGY FOR BEAR #56
ELEGIA PER A L’ÓSSA #56
Ursula major,
Queen of Minnesotan woods,
drowsy from the weight
of age and honey-drenched dreams,
you lie down in sun-dappled grass
Óssa major,
reina dels boscos de Minnesota,
adormissada pel pes
dels anys i els somnis amarats de mel,
jeus damunt l’herba clapejada pel sol
sheltered by blue pines.
Huron nation calls you wise,
The Zuni, healer.
Stars guide your way through big skies.
The Great Spirit has called you home.
emparada pels pins blaus.
La nació huron et diu sàvia,
la zuni, guaridora.
Els estels guien el teu camí a través dels cels immensos.
El Gran Esperit t’ha cridat a casa.
