Thinking of Harry Martinson

Cover of Planet of the Blind....man and dog....

A stone bridge in a woody place—
You know where it is
Halfway between stalks without blossoms
And the houses of grandfathers

The path is just grass
Where no one arrives
And I remember as a boy
Built on insecure emptiness

On hands and knees
Blind in a forest
Feeling how something
Was taking my place
