From You go the words (Action Books 2007), translated from Finnish-Swedish by Fredrik Hertzberg. The poems in Finland-Swedish. Fredrik Hertzberg on Gunnar Björling.

You go the words

I

You go and search

and we wander

we go and search

it is not in the words

it is not words

words not

but of a nothing

o your day

*

When so little that able

draw the moment in

When a so little

– to let still

And dreams

and no one to know

but it dream

and all’s eye

*

You go the

words

and where

were you, it was

I know not and

that to your ear

wants

and with the eye

just with finger

*

– fingers hands

that around

now

with sibling features

but so small

and placeclean

flowers

and what arisen

earth earth

and our love

– earthlove

*

And spread out

and earth, rose

As a moment

burst from the breast

To only

that and we have

o that in you

it lives

through the room

*

It is in the words

i t and

– to in forgettingness

So wants one not –

only

Such as –

and it been

*

When and –

more than that

that no one knows

and borderfeature’s point

and that one single

and like – everything

*

One time, and

times

So everything, and up to

world

– are they not: and

speaks Are

speaking

with skin

and the lips’

eyes

Have such swelling

lips

*

Fear love

– in everything

beginning’s word

Pleading and

looks at you:

that you say it

See, and

pleading

and to each other

*

The song

Hear me no more

in spaces captured

the song

the worldall songs

me

and worldsongs

whistle

in spaces captured

the song
