Aase Berg

Side by side

Original language

The liquor man

The liquor man
in a male body
is 100 kg heavier
than a human
hand-pressed
against a wall

De borrelman

De borrelman
in het mannenlichaam
is 100 kg zwaarder
dan een mens
tegen de handpalm
op de muur

Spritmannen
i manskroppen
är 100 kilo tyngre
än en människa
mot väggens
handtryck

This is a threat:

My little girl steps into a room, any room,
