“lost” – david wagoner
Djurgården, November 2015
Stand still. The trees ahead and the bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask it permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

Falun, Sweden, October 2015
listen, the snow is falling
Snow alights on boughs
A softer, quieter haiku
Nothing could compose
last night, just down the road
I will never forget this.
HERE are photos by a friend, Eva Grosso, who has a far better camera than mine. Try to imagine each image continuing 360 degrees around you and above you. Utterly mind-blowing.
triakel – väckelsevisa (“revival song”)
Exquisitely melancholic folk song from the 2011 album, Ulrikas minne – visor fran Frostviken.
anna von hausswolff – evocation
From The Miraculous (Pomperipossa Records, out November 13th, 2015). Saw her live last week… Almost made my chest implode!
winter walks
The lake is almost completely frozen over now.
Frosty ghost of a flower.

spacetime continuum
Ever noticed how when you have to leave a place, time speeds up in the last few days, almost gurgling as it’s sucked into the wormhole of your impending absence?
