Lennart Sögren: 'Kalven'



 

THE CALF

 

A calf with large eyes

is standing one morning down by

the shore to drink.

The old sea-maps show another shore.

The calf does not know that.

 

Its eyes wide-open, it drinks

and as always by still water

the calf is met by another calf

from beneath the water.

And their eyes and their muzzles

drink out of the same hand.


To see the original poem, go to here.
