Glacier in Patagonia


Far away, here in Patagonia
The accumulation of piled snow fallen in heaps
After a time beyond any record
Became the rocky ice making the huge wide glacier
From its own heaviness

The frozen river
Of pure blue and deep transparency
Creaking, mirritt mirritt missi missi
Does not move heavily, but
According to the natural laws of science
Seeking and going towards the lower place
Dz... dz... dz.....
Moves without moving itself

Finally splitting with roaring sounds
Shaking the air
Once sinking into the water and again floating
Entirely calmly without any words
It returns to the ultimate of nature

What accumulation!
What silence!
What magnificence!
