I'm Ariel Francisco, and I'll be reading a poem by Sarah Kirsch called "Black Beans," translated from German by Wayne Kvam.
Afternoons I take up a book Afternoons I lay down a book Afternoons it occurs to me there is war Afternoons i forget every war Afternoons I grind coffee Afternoons I set the ground coffee Backwards together beautiful Black beans Afternoons I undress dress First make up then wash myself Sing am silent
