NEW RITUALS
We carry upeverything that will be used
for the impromptu altar
We carry sketches
for a new sky
and a new earth
We carry suggestions
for new clouds above towns
new towns above clouds
Look!
The clouds are twirling with felt pen
are whispered, watered down,
camouflaged, washed out, winched
In sketches for new stage coulisses
a child is carried carefully forth
to sex violence and death

NYE RITUALER
NYE RITUALER
Vi bærer oppalt som skal brukes
til det spontane alteret
Vi bærer utkast
til en ny himmel
og en ny jord
Vi bærer forslag
til nye skyer over byer
nye byer over skyer
Se!
Skyene driver med tusjtegning
hviskes, tynnes,
kamufleres, viskes, vinsjes
I skisser til nye kulisser
bæres et barn varsomt frem
til sex vold og død
