SØVNSIND
Der er den igen, den sværmende kugle
af skingrende fuglelyd, lydløst midt i den
en blødvinget ugle –
mit søvnsind prisgivet
morgentanker

SLEEP IN MIND
There it is again, the swarming ball
of shrill sounds of birds, silently in the middle of it
a soft-winged owl –
my sleeping mind at mercy
morning thoughts
