The storm the house rests his mouth and blows
to emit a sound.
restless sleep, I turn, I read the text of the storm
asleep.
But the child's eyes are wide open in the dark and the storm
moans for him.
both love the swinging lamps.
Both are halfway to the language.
The storm childish hands and wings.
The caravan was launched to Lapland.
And the house feels its constellation of nails
holding together the walls.
The night is still on our floor
(where all the steps muffled
rest sunk like leaves in a pond) but
raging night out!
The world is passing a more severe storm.
rests his soul to his mouth and blows
to emit a sound - we fear that the storm blowing
us empty.
Tomas Tranströmer
