Strong and slow wind
from the seaside library –
I’ll rest here
From "The Great Enigma" by Tomas Tranströmer, 2004 this particular verse translated from the Swedish by Anatoly Kudryavitsky
There’s a tree walking around in the rain,
it rushes past us in the pouring grey.
It has an errand. It gathers life
out of the rain like a blackbird in an orchard.
When the rain stops so does the tree.
There it is, quiet on clear
nights waiting as we do for the moment
when the snowflakes blossom in space.
