Here's one more:<br /><br />The Couple<br /><br />They switch off the light and its white shade<br /><br />glimmers for a moment before dissolving<br /><br />like a tablet in a glass of darkness. Then up.<br /><br />The hotel walls rise into the black sky.<br /><br />The movements of love have settled, and they sleep<br /><br />but their most secret thoughts meet as when<br /><br />two colors meet and flow into each other<br /><br />on the wet paper of a schoolboy’s painting.<br /><br />It is dark and silent. But the town has pulled closer<br /><br />tonight. With quenched windows. The houses have approached.<br /><br />They stand close up in a throng, waiting,<br /><br />a crowd whose faces have no expressions.About Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520033748138863918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4070140306107547041.post-43208105619015014572011-11-13T14:13:00.823-06:002011-11-13T14:13:00.823-06:00Dear Mr Miller pleace allow me to share one of my ...Dear Mr Miller pleace allow me to share one of my favorite transtrømmer-poems, from one admirer to an other:<br /><br />Madrigal:<br />I inherited a dark forest where I seldom walk. But a day is coming when the living and the dead trade places. Then the forest will be set in motion. We are not without hope. The most serious crimes will remain unsolved despite the efforts of many policemen. In the same way there is somewhere in our lives a great unsolved love. I inherited a dark forest, but today I am walking in the other forest, the light one. And the living things that sing, wiggle, wave and crawl! It's spring and the air is very strong. I have an examination at the University of Oblivion and am as emptyhanded as the shirt on the clothesline.<br /><br />I am in love with your books. Pleace continue to write.Miriam Hlavatyhttp://www.thelisteningexperience.nonoreply@blogger.com
