From Tveegget engel (Doubl Edged Angel)1988
translated by Susan Schwartz Senstad and the writer
I DRIVE, QUEEN OF ICE
I drive, Queen of Ice, through winter’s ocean
behind borrowed reindeer across frozen waves
heaven’s darkness streaming like a starry mane.
Swords of northern lights are drawn before light’s
battle for the love of darkness. The sleigh
flees from winter’s heart, cold and paralyzing.
I hear the King of Winter is enraged:
He’s gnawing the icicles off stars and houses
gashing heaven’s frost with mountain peaks
he’s grinding snow breasts between icy teeth
hounding the lust of darkness with a biting whip,
and I am drunk with ice, my cheeks aflame
with fierce winter fever as spiky stars stab out
through my flesh and crystalline minerals sweat
from the depths beneath my body’s skin and hair
where light awaits naked as a bridegroom,
until darkness surrenders altogether, and
day arises with its beaming lucid mind.
MY REAL DAUGHTER
WORLD YOUNG
She made a garland of her hair for the feast
and threw her tears to the wolves
She forged her sword-soul boyish
and traded feathers with time’s leaping heaven
She raced ahead to hunt the storms
and passionately kissed the skin of snow
She would fly with all the wild birds
animals and shadows, freely
to the light of wolves’ jaws, with polar bears’ pawprints
stamped into her memory
She wanted to win, as if her life were youthful
and blond and fresh and soft as stone
She stepped androgynously across the borders
toward the distinctly open inner land of ice
She would be among those who dive
she would carry death like a precious stone
She would live spreadeagled across life
be a fine-tuned instrument
against the world’s tortured, aging reason
She wished to torment cruelty
with her strong and mercy-glowing laughter
She would salvage joy
from that powerful despair
HERE
The light surfs breakers of time
the haze of heat hangs blue clouds
in blue, let the years like a riddle
riddle themselves, I’ve forgotten
and remembered enough, now I will
be here in this where I am
Each morning awakens
new vivid days – fine!
