New Order / Ny orden

new order
a homeless person mimicks
a chrysalis

ny orden
en hjemløs person efterligner
en puppe

with a white finger
I point at a snowflake

med en hvid finger
peer jeg på et snefnug

during the night
a star
went red

i nattens løb
blev en stjerne
rød

nothing left to do
but rub the shoulders

ikke mere at gøre
end at massere skuldrene

  2. As always, a breath of fresh air!

    I try to memorize it, and soon,I'll say it loud (maybe to my wife)
    She'll say: "what?"

    A Danish poet wrote this! His name is Johannes!
