something that looks like a rengay / noget der ligner en rengay

white in white
I catch a glimpse of Flora
in snowed up windows

strange, when you stop going backwards
you're suddenly avant-garde

in this hourglass
starlings swarm
every 7th minute

it has finally done it, the wolf
eaten the gods and sun

wouldn't you have wished
you were a fly on the wall?

really
our cells come
from a Fender Rhodes

through a door in the elephant
a rush of apsaras and tongues

on the parking lot
two ravens give a pizza
a heaven-burial













hvidt i hvidt
jeg fanger et glimt af Flora
i tilsneede vinduer

mærkeligt, du holder op med at gå baglæns
og straks er du avant-garde

i dette timeglas
sværmer stære
hvert 7nde minut

omsider har den gjort det, ulven
ædt guderne og solen

ku' du ikk' godt tænke dig at ha' været
en flue på væggen?

sandt
vore celler kommer
fra et Fender Rhodes

gennem en dør i elefanten
en strøm af apsara'er og tunger

på p-pladsen
gi'r to ravne en pizza
en himmelbegravelse

Flora Purim and her version of Corea's 'Windows' (can be found on youtube)

Fender Rhodes, the first electric piano that got hugely popular. very distinct sound

apsaras: heavenly dancers (Hindu/Vedic)

heaven-burial: the Tibetan way of dismembering a dead person and letting the birds eat him/her
