After rain


Lars Gustafsson

(1936-2016)


After rain

Summer rain's sky like an X-ray film

where light and shadows mingling show through.

Silent forest and not a single bird.

Your own eye like a droplet spilled under clouds,

reflecting the world: light and vague shadows.

And suddenly you know who you are:

a baffled stranger between soul and clouds,

only by the thin membrane of an image

are the world's depth and the eye's darkness kept separate.
