Winter Light


what is it you want
a sip of aquavit?
come a little closer look

here at the lake’s edge
hear a tape-loop
in the head

see finger
clouds gather
to form

a grammar
like the priest
in Bergman’s Winter Light

without the verb to be
but a flat
Helig     Helig     Helig

[r.i.p. ingmar bergman 1918-2007]
