Stillhetens åndedrag - #51. Det forteller hun lett

Stillhetens åndedrag - #51. Det forteller hun lett

John Bjarne Grover

0 51. Det forteller hun lett 51. That she easily tells

1 Jeg angrer som henne - I regret like her -
2 var stjernen i paradis, was the star in paradise,
3 så skyggene renne saw the shadows run
4 fra skuldrenes kryss from the shoulders' cross

5 og trærne sto høye and the trees stood tall
6 i valmueglans. in poppy splendour.
7 Jeg så henne bøye I saw her bow down
8 sin søyle på langs. her spine forwards.

9 Så måtte vi lete Then we had to search around
10 under himmelens gys. under the heaven's shiver.
11 Jeg så hennes sete I saw her seat
12 i valmuens lys. in the poppy's light.

13 Mitt tog kom presis klokken ti tjuesju My train came precisely at 10:27
14 og lytter til kveldens rustikk and listens to the evening's rustics
15 og svingte meg opp mot den hellige Gud, and swung me up towards the holy God,
16 lyser i kveldens mystikk. shines in the evening's mysticism.

17 Jeg talte 1001 slanke trær I counted 1001 slender trees
18 i den første himmel. in the first heaven.
19 Min telling var ikke engang binær - My count was not even binary -
20 når kateterets vrimmel. reaches the tumults of the teacher's desk.
