øynene dine ser rett mot meg
jeg ser rett mot de
strever med å lese
ordene surrer rundt i hodet
om jeg leser en invitasjon
hva vil jeg inviteres på
forsøker å dekke min usikkerhet
har ikke du samme usikkerhet
vil det hjelpe å snakke
om hva jeg tenker på
vil det virkelig styrke
de skjøre trådene mellom oss
lukker øynene
kjenner på kroppen
tenker på ordene
åpner øynene
håper du ikke synes
jeg er sær
vet nå at jeg vil
ta imot din invitasjon

perpetual spirit redresses
looking like a normal person
water well above your ankles
others give but a glance
of the 12 degrees samples
already in you're underwear
you want to throw yourself
into the diamond water
my mouth is full of swear
the look of you
makes me shiver
the need to stand out
to do what is different
mice cleaning the plate
bears celebrating christmas
children who don't eat the cake
an attitude of anomaly
a will to be free
the will to be - not free
the will of life
makes you shine
makes you a part
makes you not mine
and life leaves you
to need and to seek
to be seen by some
to be unique
my little daughter
jumps into the water
8 years in 12 degrees
perpetual spirit redresses
water well above your ankles
others give but a glance
of the 12 degrees samples
already in you're underwear
you want to throw yourself
into the diamond water
my mouth is full of swear
the look of you
makes me shiver
the need to stand out
to do what is different
mice cleaning the plate
bears celebrating christmas
children who don't eat the cake
an attitude of anomaly
a will to be free
the will to be - not free
the will of life
makes you shine
makes you a part
makes you not mine
and life leaves you
to need and to seek
to be seen by some
to be unique
my little daughter
jumps into the water
8 years in 12 degrees
perpetual spirit redresses

HENNES SANG
HENNES SANG
Av ingen annen årsak enn at jeg elsker ham fullt
er jeg her ; for denne natten i hvert fall
Verden har krympet til et gutteaktig bryst
Som mitt hode, klart og utmattet, hviler på,
Og hodet kan ikke vite om noe mer fullendt.
La soloppgangen samle all sin skyld, sine bekymringer
Om ikke kjærlighet fantes, ville de helt sikkert smitte
Dette perfekte hjertet.
Jeg er så fjernt fra de som solen.
Jeg er så fjernt fra de som mulig er.
HER SONG
For no other reason than I love him wholly
I am here ; for this one night at least
The world has shrunk to a boyish breast
On which my head, brilliant and exhausted, rests,
And can know of nothing more complete.
Let the dawn assemble all its guilts, its worries
And small doubts that, but for love, would infect
This perfect heart.
I am as far beyond them as the sun.
I am as far beyond them as is possible.
