Daily Dose

From The Sorrow Gondola, by Tomas Transtromer, translated by Michael McGriff & Mikaela Grassl

MIDWINTER

"A blue light
radiates from my clothing,
Midwinter.
Clattering tambourines of ice.
I close my eyes.
There is a silent world
there is a crack
where the dead
are smuggled across the border."
