Noah's 225th Egg / Noahs 225nde æg

looping

                          this foot

in vain

I try

to recall

                          that foot

an earworm

from

yesterday

                        my compass

                        keeps me

                        on Earth

looper

                         denne fod

jeg

prøver

forgæves

at huske

                         den anden

en ørehænger

fra i går

                         mit kompas

                         holder mig

                         til Jorden

Noah's 224th Egg / Noahs 224nde æg

here

in

the sun

                      even in winter

where

the city

is

                      the buzzing

your

body

                      of the I-fly

her

i

solen

                     selv om vinteren

hvor

byen

er

                     den summende lyd

din

krop

                     af jeg-fluen

Noah's 223rd Egg / Noahs 223nde æg

taking

in

                     searching for one constant

spots

of

yellow

                     among many

eyes

made

from

stars

                     I end up with a mayfly

ind

tager

                     leder efter én konstant

gule

pletter

                     blandt mange

øjne

lavet

af

stjerner

                     og ender op med

                     en døgnflue

Noah's 222nd egg / Noahs 222nde æg

soundless

                      didn't we row

                      our boat out

the cloud

cracked

                      the edge of sanity

on a

Thursday

                      and became butterflies?

lydløst

                     roede vi ikke

                     vor båd ud

revnede

skyen

                     til fornuftens

                     rand

på en

torsdag

                     og blev til sommerfugle?

Noah's 221st egg / Noahs 221nde æg

there

                   in this dream

 

the

moon

the

cigarette

                   her clothes change

                   fluently

getting

smaller

                   my (lost) schizophrenic

                   friend

se

                     i den drøm

månen

cigaretten

                     skifter hendes tøj

                     glidende

bliver

mindre

                      min (fortabte) skizofrene

                      ven

Noah's 220th egg / Noahs 220nde æg

I can

do this

                     between stations

touch

my

nose

                     I frame the sun

in

dark

ness

                     with two fingers

jeg kan

gøre det

                       mellem stationer

røre

min

næse

                       indrammer jeg solen

i

mørke

                       med to fingre

Noah's 219th egg / Noahs 219de æg

business

as usual

                       golden age

                       of the universe

no ruminants

                       (stars are still ”born”

                        and the sun works o.k. )

in the

weather

forecast

                        I hoover

                        the toilet floor

                        twice

alt

som det

plejer

                     universets gyldne

                     æra

ingen

drøvtyggere

                    (stjerner ”fødes” stadig

                     og solen virker o.k.)

i

vejr

udsigten

                     jeg støvsuger

                     toiletgulvet

                     to gange

Noah's 218th egg / Noahs 218nde æg

completing

the world

                            tat tvam asi

climbing

                           and that includes

vines

                           the cradle of wind

fuldender

Noah's 217th Egg / Noahs 217nde æg

could
it be

                     one and a half

slower

                    of these
                    rusty brown
                    pills

winter
light

                   and it should be
                   o.k.

our

on

candle

mass

                      a lot to be said

                        meget skal siges

Saturn's

Day

                          as it is:

my brain

thinks of itself

                         liquid water

                         rains away

thinking

                         the frozen

Bade

dag*

                         som det er:

min hjerne

tænker på

sig selv

                        flydende vand

                        regner væk

tænkende

                        det frosne

(Lørdag komme fra Laugsdag, Laug er et gammelt ord for bad. The Danish name for Saturday is ”lørdag”, the name comes from the old ”Laugsdag”, ”laug” is an old word for ”bath/bathing”, ”dag” is day)
