( me / via )

Haiku by Tomas Tranströmer.

"New Fiery Moon"

hour's gemmate · jowl-forest
in car mirror · mildly white now
still this striving · studded with losses
like i'd find · final attainment
worth all this weary · warfare of signs
a made place · in the metroplex
journey they say · has to save its own
passenger pulsewise · perils crossed
on roads like this · rugged & tuned
  by a staticky radio

Stanzas in blankkvaett.

successfully censored · my sad thoughts
  for a passel of pretty minutes
this is Theseus · & his magic thread

Warrior.
