ROMANESQUE ARCHES
By #TomasTranströmer, tr. #RobinFulton
Inside the huge #Romanesque church the tourists jostled in the half darkness.
Vault gaped behind vault, no complete view.
A few candle flames flickered.
An angel with no face embraced me
and whispered through my whole body:

THE HALF-FINISHED HEAVEN
By #TomasTranströmer, tr. #RobertBly
Cowardice breaks off on its path.
Anguish breaks off on its path.
The vulture breaks off in its flight.
The eager light runs into the open,
Even the ghosts take a drink.
And our paintings see the air,
red beasts of the ice-age studios.

Fantastic to feel how my poem grows while I myself shrink. It is growing, it takes my place. It pushes me out of its way.

Deep in the forest there’s an unexpected clearing that can be reached only by someone who has lost his way.

THE OUTPOST
By #TomasTranströmer, tr. Robin Fulton
I’m ordered out to a heap of stones
like a distinguished corpse from the Iron Age.
The others are back in the tent sleeping
stretched out like spokes in a wheel.

Mission: to be where I am.
Even in that ridiculous, deadly serious
role — I am the place
where creation is working itself out.

Tired of all who come with words, words but no language
I went to the snow-covered island
The wild does not have words
The unwritten pages spread themselves out in all directions!
I come across the marks of roe-deer’s hooves in the snow.
Language, but no words.

Be proud!
Inside you, vaults behind vaults open endlessly.
You will never be finished, and that’s as it should be."
