over the dark threshold

I really like this Tomas Tranströmer collected poems (2011 Edition), as translated from the Swedish, by Robin Fulton ...

... here's a short verse from within:


Signatures

I have to step
over the dark threshold.
A hall.
The white document gleams.
With many shadows moving.
Everyone wants to sign it.

Until the light overtook me
and folded up time.
