Tomas Tranströmer #5

Carpe Diem Special #119, Tomas Tranströmer's 5th "a wild boar plays the organ"

then the leaves whispered:

a wild boar plays the organ.

and the bells all rang

My Attempts:

we listen and watch

the dragon hiss and spit flames

old potbelly stove

~

cows circle around

gossiping under the oak 

the crow listens in

"in time with the moon"

Carpe Diem Special #118, Tomas Tranströmer's fourth "in time with the moon" (Vision Quest day 2)

and the night streams in

from east to west, traveling

in time with the moon

in it’s fullness

the moon spills it’s light

into the dawn

~

as the moon fades

morning light on the ocean

glistening with hope

~

as day breaks

tide pools overflow

at my feet

Tomas Tranströmer "and the frigid sea"

Carpe Diem Special #116, Tomas Tranströmer's "and the frigid sea"

Oak trees and the moon.

Light and mute constellations.

And the frigid sea

moonshine and pine trees
night noises and silent pauses
rednecks on the mountain

_

fenceposts and wire
gentle cows and running horses
and Kentucky roadways

_

parking meters and trashcans
flashing signals and streetlights
and endless concrete
