DERES ORD
Jeg ser de lette skyer
Jeg ser den lette sol
Jeg ser hvor let de tegner
Et endeløst forløb
som om de føler tillid
Til mig der står på jorden
Som om de ved at jeg
Er deres ord.
Poem by Inger Christensen

YOUR WORDS
I see the light skies
I see the light sun
I see how easy they paint
An endless continuum
As if they feel trust
To me standing on the ground
As if they know that I
Am their words
Translation by Ylva Lund Bergner
