An Essay on the Failure of Translation

An essay on the failure of translation
In the outlying districts of a paranoid city
THE PARABLE OF THE BLIND by Gert Hofmann
It would cite the detective stories
Of Borges, written as prose fields
One episode measuring two weeks, travel
By car north of the city, finish repatriated
As in a dream of southern coastal towns.
