Vagrant's notes

THREE POEMS FROM Lösdrivaren #1 (2000) TRANSLATED


The green shoulder

Having made death itself scream

Is cut short with a sign

Looks down at its chair

The hands are taking the life of

A ball-played head of ice

All around the disaster


NN


Appetite for breath

Snake tongue

Breaths along the body

Features

Either ever seen them

not there right there

no warmth in that very body at the time

no ward in that very smoke

The doubt of iron

of sorrow and adrenalin

or menstruation blood

Old image

old cleft features

old deeply cleft features


MF


You warm wind,

throwing evil threads

in my unrest hung loose.

The silence that circumvents the whispers of lullabies

in our silent costumes.

Prevent the eye take the wet faces,

hiding the fragrance in the moisture of my mouth.

The child's eye eats itself into each nile of skin.
