This is your life. Poem by Sigurður A. Magnússon.

Broken mirror



The shadow of the window

shows you the outline of a single person

in October

trembling like the trees in the background

in the dim glow of street lamps

a tiring eternity

we are filled with groans

and half-spoken words

beyond the glass



a sound that hurts every nerve in the body



You see the faceless picture

transformed into Orpheus

to search for Eurydice and himself

in a film by Cocteau



Fateful leap

from one consciousness to another

from uncertainty to certainty:

The broken glass is falling on you.

blood seeps

The echoes of the athletes are silent.



Naked distress call

a frozen image of love

which will never be enjoyed



Eurydice in the Underworld

eternally lost
