Translation of Ted Cousy's Night Flight

By who? Ted Kutzer

Above our heads, the stars. Below us is the constellation.

Five billion miles away, a galaxy died out.

Like snowflakes on the water. Below us,

Some farmers, feeling the chill of distant death,

Turn on the lights in his yard and draw his hut and barn.

Back to the little system he took care of.

All night, the city, like a shining star,

Tugboats with bright streets in lonely lights like him.

To fly/sail at night

Ted Cousy/Work? Shelter from the rain/translation

Overhead, the stars. Feet, constellation.

Five billion miles away, the Milky Way is dead.

Like snow falling on the water. ? Below us,

A farmer feels the distant cold of death.

Bang bang,? He turned on the light in the yard.

Keep the hut and barn within your reach.

All night, the city was like a fading star.

Tug of war with Huang Hui's building blocks and his lonely lamp.

Postscript:

Things in Kuser's sentences are always out of focus due to time, far away, quiet, flashing in the body like photos.
