Poem
Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen
WATERLILY
waterlily waterlilylily risen from the earth’s interior
what is it with the world
that you so willingly are stretched by
what is it with the light
that you so willingly are woken by
what is with the dark
that you so willingly are closed by
one day deep is your good night
one night deep is your good day
waterlily

NØKKEROSE
NØKKEROSE
nøkkerose nøkkeroserose reist fra jordas indre
hva er det med verden
som du så villig lar deg strekke av
hva er det med lyset
som du så villig lar deg vekke av
hva er det med mørket
som du så villig lar deg lukke av
en dag dyp er ditt godnatt
en natt dyp er ditt goddag
nøkkerose
