“Five Part Erasure” by Karen George

.           ~ from Tomas Transtromer’s “About History” as translated by Robert Bly in
.                 The Half-Finished Heaven

.                       I

Listen, ice is history

.                       II

A bridge of stars born nameless

.                       III

Disguised faces seen in dark

.                       IV

Diminished, we find language

.                       V

A field full of becoming

-Karen George
