절름발이 늑대에게 경배 2

바스코 포파 (조영필 역)

2

나는 네 앞에 엎드렸다

절름발이 늑대여

유린되어 불타고

진흑으로 가려진

네 형상들 사이에 나는 있네

나는 그것들 사이에 떨어졌다

내 얼굴은 네 신성한 쐐기풀에 떨어져

그것들과 함께 탄다

그것들의 나무 살과

금빛 눈썹

내 입에 가득하다

나는 네 앞에 엎드렸다

으르렁거려 내게 일어나라는 신호를 다오

절름발이 늑대여

2

I have prostrated myself before you

Lame wolf

I lie among your images

That are ravaged and burning

And masked in mud

I have fallen among them

My face in your sacred nettles

And burn with them together

My mouth is full

Of their wooden flesh

And golden eyebrow

I have prostrated myself before you

Growl as a sign for me to rise

Lame wolf

(translated by Anne Pennington, 2011)

2

I prostrate myself before you

Lame wolf

I lie between your effigies

Mutilated and burning

And disguised to look like mud

I fall among them

With my face in your holy nettles

And together with them I burn

My mouth is full

Of their wood-like flesh

And golden eyebrows

I prostrate myself before you

Give me a sign growl at me to rise

Lame wolf

(translated by Charles Simic, 2019)
