Johan Ågren: The Lighthouse

.

the lighthouse at Wild Cat Harbour

was overgrown with crackling neon tubes

.

the void bent its branches invisibly

.

the great cycles do not give way

and we travel further and further away

.

the movement was forgotten in the glow of an extinguished candle

.

.

Carsten Palmer Schale: Sunblade

.

The trees reach toward the sky

I’m walking, I’m walking toward the sea

the winterwind stays on the quay

.

strangers row out to the island

I see them pull up to the cat

that weaves its webs

.

the scent of thawed earth and seaweed

new maps unfold

the waves lift a dawn in

.

.

Malin Jonsson: Vessel Network

.

when there is mountains

spring creeps through the eye

and into my mouth
.

Like the rain like

the blind hand
.

how I wish

it could grow; how I wish

something was

.

but it creeps

under the skin

a simple longing creeps;
.

bird throats and the kindness in the eyes of the fjords

.
