moon + stars

 

 

tracing hidden roots at the ancestor tree

We brave into ourselves each time
we put on our lantern-light
and step out--as a gleam steps
out its overlapping forms
to lift a path from its nest of darkness.

by spoonlight, the sifters
under predation risk surface incision

(it) passes through everything
like a skeleton key

"From March 1979" by Tomas Tranströmer 
 

"Weary of all who come with words, words but no language
I make my way to the snow-covered island.
The untamed has no words.
The unwritten pages spread out on every side!
I come upon the tracks of deer in the snow.
Language but no words."


Translated from the Swedish by Robin Fulton
