The Mover
(Valerio Magrelli, 1992)
âWhat is translation?â On a platter
the pale, flaming head of a poet.
â Nabokov
The mover who means to
clean out my room is doing
the same job as me. I
too move something â words â
to a new building, words
not mine, setting hands to things
I donât quite know, not quite
comprehending what I move.
Myself I move â translate
pasts to presents, to presence, that
travels sealed up, packed in pages, or
within crates bearing the inscription
fragile. Donât know whatâs in them. And
this is what the future holds â
this shuttling, the metaphor, the tense
and manual grammar,
the transfer, the figure
of speech, the moving-
company come to move you.
