Bakom terrariets glas
reptilerna
underligt orörliga.
En kvinna hänger tvätt
i tystnaden.
Döden är vindstilla.
I markens djup
glider min själ
tyst som en komet.
Tomas Tranströmer

- Thekla
- Oslo, Norway
- This is a good life. Many books are yet unread, many mysteries yet unsolved, great depths of life still undiscovered. I am here to unveil as much of this peculiar existence of mine as possible. And then share some of it with you!
