Noah's 255th Egg / Noahs 255nde æg

I can

do

this

                   naming gods

                   after things found

                   in the road

stare

                   that's it

into the air

                   for this Sunday

jeg kan

gøre

dette

                    navngiver guder

                    efter ting fundet

                    på vejen

stirre

                    det må være nok

ud i luften

                   for denne søndag

Noah's 252nd Egg / Noahs 252nde æg

this

mid

summer

                          ignoring

                          my repeated

                          rejections

we drown

the witch

                          what persistence

instead

                           little fly

denne

mid

sommer

                            ignorerer

                            mine gentagne

                            afvisninger

drukner vi

heksen

                            hvilken ihærdighed

i stedet

                            lille flue

Morpheus'

betrayal

                        while waiting

three caws

of a crow

                        for it to happen

before

dawn

                        it happens

Morfeus'

forræderi

                         mens jeg venter

tre kra

fra en krage

                        på at det skal ske

før

solopgang

                        sker det

Noah's 250th Egg / Noahs 250nde æg

do

I drink

water

                             only on Earth

so my nose

and eyes

                             small insects drown

can run?

                             in liquid

                             candle wax

drikker

jeg vand

                             kun på Jorden

for at min næse

og mine øjne

                             drukner små insekter

kan løbe?

                             i flydende stearin

eating

a melon

                                 stating

                                 the obvious

on the third

stone from

Sol

                                 even the mirrored

                                 heron

                                (perpetually stabbing itself in haiku)

that's a gift

too

                                 yawns

at spise

en melon

                               at konstatere

                               det selvindlysende

på den tredje

klippe fra

solen

                               får selv den spejlede

                               hejre

                              (kontinuerligt spiddende sig selv i haiku)

det er også

en gave

                               til at gabe
