    Ode to the Baltic Sea

     

     

     

    Baltic Sea

    bordered with birch

    with spruce

    and ponds

    and swamps

     

    A looking-glass

    where scattered clouds

    flake off

    into sheets

    of ice

     

    and when the breeze

    freshens

    the north wind

    bites

    the banks of winter.

                 Between tree-trunks

                stands the fog

                and on the branches

                sweeps

                the brush.

                          From tree to tree

                 errs a whisper

                 and each tree-top

                 is a crack

                 in an old

                 varnish.

     

     

                              Hatching

                              of trunks

                              against a stumped

                              distance

                         From tree to tree

                              crunch the footsteps,

                              through black into pearl

                              grey, through pale grey

                              into rain-grey

                              afar off

                              where it all

                              fades in.
