TAIVAS NÖYRTYY
Taivas nöyrtyy
ja ajattelu
ei vie mihinkän
me olemme aina
eksyksissä

HIMMELEN UNDERKASTAR SIG
Himmelen underkastar sig
och tänkandet
för oss ingen stans
vi är ständigt
vilsegångna

THE SKY SURRENDER
The sky surrender
and thinking
get us nowhere
we are constantly
lost
Translation by Ylva Lund Bergner
