Ingrid Storholmen

09. Suspend the letters one by one

Suspend the letters one by one
until the word is left emptied
Jerk the knife out of the sentence

A name only the wind can pronounce
you suffered me
I didn’t lose my whole appetite
life-preventative I remember what is good
nothing to see, snow
and put in lights against the luminous

09. Suspend the letters one by one

Seponerer bokstavene en for en
til ordet står tømt tilbake
Rykker kniven ut av setningen

Et navn bare vinden kan uttale
led du meg
Jeg mister ikke helt lysten på mat
livsforebyggende minnes jeg det som er godt
ingenting å se, snø
og setter inn lys mot det lysende
Close

09. Suspend the letters one by one

Suspend the letters one by one
until the word is left emptied
Jerk the knife out of the sentence

A name only the wind can pronounce
you suffered me
I didn’t lose my whole appetite
life-preventative I remember what is good
nothing to see, snow
and put in lights against the luminous

09. Suspend the letters one by one

Suspend the letters one by one
until the word is left emptied
Jerk the knife out of the sentence

A name only the wind can pronounce
you suffered me
I didn’t lose my whole appetite
life-preventative I remember what is good
nothing to see, snow
and put in lights against the luminous
