A Translation As Promised

I wrote an introduction to what I wanted to say – then crossed it out. Yet, still I wish
that before the darkness closes over me
the last that is seen of me is a clutched fist among the waterlilies
and the last that is heard is a word
of bubbles from the deep.
Gunnar Ekelöf – Among Waterlilies
