Reflections of Reflections [paragraph 1]

[Arayaz]

This is the first paragraph of the Ruykkarraber text Disaki kuy Disaki ─ "Reflections of Reflections." If you like it, I wrote it. If you don't, it was written by Dusuktur Iddu, Ruykkarranat woodworker and amateur poet/philosopher. Feel free to take some poetic license when translating it. I did.

English

Reflections of Reflections
We are gazing into water. In it, we see ourselves and each other, leaning over the edge of the water-fractured bridge. Ruya's reflection turns to mine and says something. Mine looks up at the sky, or perhaps he sees water, for who really knows what he is perceiving?

That was the most exhausting thing I've ever had to gloss.
