SUNDSVALL I SOMRAS: ANCESTRAL ONOMASTICS


In Sweden’s croft of light, behold,
Names and lives of predecessors.
Back to Pleasant Grove with records,
Sons and daughters on my shoulder,

As I sheave the harvest, listen,
My home fills with angel orders.
Breath and line of household courses,
Ljustorp’s cradle holds our christening.

(Ljustorp, Sweden, Summer 2002)
