so
what about the finger

                         in utter seclusion

pointing
at the finger

                         a tiny sea god

pointing?


                         inside the orange








hvad med fingeren

                        i yderste
                        afsondrethed

der peger
på fingeren

                        en lille havgud

der peger?

                        inde i appelsinen

is that

                   harder
                   than it sounds

the melted
North Pole

                   following the light

falling
here?
 
                    in a dark world








er det

                     sværere
                     end det lyder

den smeltede
Nordpol

                     at følge lyset

der
falder
her
                      i en mørk verden

still

                     when it's all

the shadow

                     dust

of
a stone

                     it's yours







stadig

                     når alt

skyggen

                     er støv

af
en sten

                     er det dit

disproving
nothing

                    not the vapours
                    on the left hand
                    (that Hiawatha saw)

the thermometer
shows

                     just fog

0

                     snowmen's ghosts


modbeviser
ingenting

                          ikke dampene
                          på venstre hånd
                          (som Hiawatha så)

termometeret
viser

                          kun tåge

0

                          snemænds ånder

Update

For what it's worth, my page in the Living Haiku Anthology's database (the world's largest I'm told; a wonderful task undertaken by Don Baird and Hansha Teki) has been updated with what I have had published in various journals in 2014 and -15. As I rarely submit anything to haiku journals the entries aren't that many, but do take a look if you're interested:

almost as dark
as it gets

                            for entertainment's sake

the sound
of the wind

                            they stretched
                            the dwarf

is the sound
there is

                            from Twin Peaks











næsten så mørkt
som det bli'r

                                for underholdningens skyld

lyden
af vinden

                                 har de forlænget
                                 dværgen

er den lyd
der er

                                 fra Twin Peaks
