Steinn Steinarr
Poem of the day 1. nóvember 2010: Tunglskin Og vatnið starir, starir köldum augum á stirndan himin yfir bleikum tindum. Og inn í dalnum dökkir skuggar trjánna við dapra geilsa tunglsins stíga dans. Og yfir sandinn, langar óraleiðir, lýsir tunglið spor þín, þreytti maður, og bregður köldum, annarlegum glampa á andlit þitt. Ég sé þig hverfa, hverfa inn í skuggann. Og yfir öllu vakir þögnin - þögnin.
Steinn Steinarr

My heart constricts because I am sure she does not see an aurora borealis attached to my skull when she looks at me.
