The Blackbird’s Field
Vasko Popa
A blackbird reads aloud
The secret letters scattered over the field
Peonies high as heaven Offer the four black winds The warriors’ united blood
A field like none other Heaven above it Heaven below
THe BLaCKBiRD’S FieLD
A field like any other
A hand and a half of green
The young moon reaps The migrant corn
Two crossed sunbeams Build cruciform stooks
