Across the Universe

Across the Universe (On foot I had to cross the solar system...)

Across the Universe (...before I found the first thread of my red dress.)

On foot

I had to cross the solar system

before I found the first thread of my red dress.

I sense myself already.

Somewhere in space hangs my heart,

shaking in the void, from it streams sparks

into other intemperate hearts.

Edith Sodergran (Swedish/Finnish poet, 1892-1923)
