Right down the Void
If you don´t carry freedom
like oxygen
in your blood,
you should never plunge
headfirst
like a vertical ray of light
down the void.
Let yourself sink to the bottom,
to its blackest innermost core,
and there, with one single tear
you are suddenly light
and shine through
everything
Blaga Dimitrova
(free interpretation by Peter Carlsson of the Swedish translation of
the poem
by Ulla Roseen, published by Fripress 1987)
