2017-6

my shadow

                         sorting old LPs

is that down
to my genes

                         I put the cracks
                         and the scratches

as well?

                          in a special box








min skygge

                           sorterer gamle LPer -

skyldes den
også

                           jeg lægger ridserne
                           og støjen

mine gener?

                            i en særlig kasse

2017-5

so much
for his costume

                            first mistake:

the boy's
surprised

                           to think that God
                           judges like me

I can see him

                           second:

though he's
dressed up to be

                           to sneeze

an invisible
ghost

                          with a mouth full
                          of coffee










så meget
for hans kostume

                                første fejl:

drengen
er overrasket over

                                at tro at Gud
                                dømmer som mig

at jeg kan se ham

                                 anden:

selvom han
er klædt ud

                                 at nyse

som usynligt
spøgelse

                                 med munden fuld
                                 af kaffe

for the Lent

                         cold Fastelavn*

renounce the I

                         the rain
                         comes dressed

in poetry?

                         as sleet







til fasten

                        kold Fastelavn

giv afkald
på jeg'et

                        regnen kommer
                        udklædt

i poesien?

                        som slud





*Fastelavn - the Danish name for the carnival preceding Lent - comes from the Low German Fasteloven or Fastnacht, the evening before the fast

2017-3



in the alphabet
of grief

                          is that the choice?

a sun-driven

                          löveliness

jellyfish

                          over content?










i sorgens
alfabet

                           er dét valget?

en soldrevet

                          øndighed

gople

                          frem for indhold?

2017-2

there's a
red thread here

                           Adam's navel

from the snowdrop
to the Dog Star

                            did that emerge

going through
my Pineal gland

                            after the fall?









der er en
rød tråd her

                           Adams navle

fra vintergækken
til Hundestjernen

                           kom den frem

og gennem
min Koglekirtel

                            efter faldet?

2017-1

in 6 days

                       giving up
                       on the News

another 6 days

                        after all

have
passed

                        nothing's new








om 6 dage

                         holder op
                         med at se Nyhederne

er endnu
6 dage

                         når alt
                         kommer til alt

gået

                          er der intet nyt
