It Hardly Matters

By J. Michael. Yates

It hardly matters now.
Now that the ring
Of bright blue
Violet fire horizon
Has gone out.

It hardly matters now
That the hedge of flame
I called “horizon” is gone,
That things that have always
Mattered have never mattered.

That is hardly matters
Now and now and now
Is a golden animal
That glows almost
In this tightening dark.

基本上没什么好在乎了

作者：叶兹
译者：寄北

现在基本上没什么好在乎了
既然现在那圈
明亮的蓝紫色的
火一样的地平线
已消失无踪

现在基本上没什么好在乎了
既然现在那个也被我称做地平线的
火之围墙也不见了,
既然那些从来都很重要的事情
居然从来没有重要过

真没有什么好在乎了
现在,现在,现在
是一个金色的动物
几乎就在这越来越令人窒息的黑暗里
闪闪发亮
This is a despairing poem about losing beliefs. The poet uses “Horizon” for two totally opposite symbolic meanings: freedom and restriction. When losing freedom, nothing matters; when losing restriction, nothing matters, either. This sounds contradictory, but the underlining truth is obvious: polarity is essential to our lives. What is worse: when God is replaced by a golden calf, nothing hardly matters anymore.
