Diminished triads

The poem was inspired by three words from my Personal Universal Deck.

English Engelska الإنجليزيّة

Convulsively crawled the mites
along the falling grape leaves,
accompanied by the
diminished triads.

Stumbling fled the man
from the thunder striking,
he with the ravenous hands
and limbs that knew no borders,
accompanied by the
diminished triads.

The smoke ceased,
the life destroying
machines subsided.
The clouds scattered.
A new sky was formed.
While I played the
diminished triads.

Swedish Svenska السويديّة

Krampaktigt kröp kvalstren
längs de fallande vindruvsbladen,
i takt med dimackorden.

Famlande flydde farbrorn,
han med gränslösa händer
och rovlystna lemmar,
ifrån åskan som slog ned,
i takt med dimackorden.

Röken upphörde,
de livslukande
maskinerna tystnade.
Molnen skingrades.
En ny himmel bildades.
Alltmedan jag spelade
dimackorden.
