eagle of light

only known you for a short time
like a fountain shooting up
a flower blossoming
a snowball down the hill

the colors from green to mint
red to rose blue to ocean
light in my mind
diamonds tingling with sparkles

kangaroo words out of the mouth
laughter funny words
smiling eyes of corridor people

deep inside
a fear a darkness
don't you see the eagle watching
life as a bear with honey

i lick and lick
again and again
imprent my soul
the taste of eden

sooner or later
the sweet is gone
there is no more honey
the bear will roar

i will find myself fighting

sant smil

jeg lyver
ordene spratt ut av meg
en fjær glapp
usannhetene strømmet ut
for sent å si noe annet

i yellow submarine
figurene bobler lyder
ingen forstår

har tapt
den svarte setningen
mørkelegger rommet
leter etter lysstråler

hater løgnene
avler unnvikende blikk
vaklende stemmer

hvor ble jeg av
vil bli sett som en bauta
står igjen som en ballong

gi meg en sjanse til
helt sant at jeg vil
gi deg et sant smil

Walt Whitman's Niece (Lyrics)

Last night or the night before that (I won't say which night)
A seaman friend of mine (I'll not say which seaman)
Walked up to a big old building (I won't say which building)
And would not have walked up the stairs (not to say which stairs)
If there had not have been two girls

(Leaving out the names of those two girls)

I recall a door, a big long room (I'll not tell which room)
I remember a deep blue rug (but I can't say which rug)
A girl took down a book of poems (not to say which book of poems)
As she read I laid my head (and I can't tell which head)
Down in her lap (and I can mention which lap)

Band: Billy Bragg & Wilco
interpreting Woody Guthrie lyrics on Mermaid Avenue

without you

you give my life something i need
i'll be alone
without you

so single minded
without your wide senses
clear views beating heart

so little time
earn money
have a flat
a child maybe two

the bore i'm without
you i adore
want to give you all
inside me torrents will
to be with you

i stay at home
what else to do
you wander around
looking for another thought

sometimes i'm close
your free soul
often out of range
i live this moment
you warm my skin

change of ecology
behind any rising sun
a cooling starts
without you

nothing spelled
all dissolved
an amoebe without boundaries
parking guards everywhere

skjelvende lokk

øyelokket
uvanlig oppførsel
har ikke bedt om lov
skjelver

barnet vil ikke legge seg
kjæresten rydder ei
været dårlig

verden er ute av kontroll
ingen gjør som jeg vil
kroppen har sin egen vilje

i hodet er befalingen klar
øyelokk - vær i ro
skjelvingen fortsetter

her kan alt skje
et lite lokk i dag
i morgen
benet spastisk
armen til værs
ørene vifter

behøver en spesialist
på vifteøre urolokk
som har sett titusenvis
av ville skjelv

om en pille eller to
plagene forsvinner
lokket blir sementert
passer mine stål grå øyne

wonder shades

worried of the boss
the tasks lagging
the new cars
will i ever afford one

red light again
does it never stop
late for nursery

pleasure seeking wife
what is she doing
his work is demanding
today should be her turn

wonders passing by
laughing couples
old people reading
red leaves in the air
children playing

work money minutes
shades in his mind
no free diamonds
shine through

oasis ohoi

the ice from yesterday
melting away
drops on my feet
might come from laughter

i was in greenland
head spinning legs fixated
you cannot picture cannot feel
the snow the ice the sea
neither emphaty nor rhapsody

the ferry sailed to the white village
passing darkness
everyone brought their jumpers
no shades needed
like a trip to the cornershop

ecological changes unfiltered sun
melting glaciers
the heat bangs the head
returning for the illusion
no oasis reported
not yet

circles

in circles we were made
in circles we live
in circles the ash will blow

gold lined shit

dressed in black and white
fashion looks energetic
when you wear clothes
you tear them

door opens
my eyes feel it all
will be seen
coat on hanger

flame thrower spits yellow

when you look at me
your heart should jump
do a real party
give it all to yourself
give me yourself

i spring at windows
walk on walls
you will not be bored
i turn the pancakes
standing on my hands

only the best
champagne at each meal
hair like metal
toilet paper with gold lining
shit goldly wiped

ecologic washing
in debt to none
not energy balanced
love wrinkles without a tumbler

never to be different
my blood haunt my vains
until i let it all out

glimt uten minne

ser deg på avstand
langs bredden motvind
spenstige skritt hodet høyt
høstblader virvler rundt deg

rundt meg ståk
metallbiter bråk
i en kjøkkenmaskin
skrik av jern som presses

kaver maser fisk på land
når munnene lukkes
månen står uten tilskuere
nikker jeg med hodet
lar øynene søke dine spor

bakken stille mørk
bladene uten kraft
natten suger opp lyset
ingen å se

tankene surkler
sakte sakte
et glimt et minne
noe jeg burde huske
fryser fast stille

rå angst

stearinlysene ser på meg
minor majority på pcen
"this is where i am today
supergirl
it's time to carry on"

hvordan kan det noensinne forklares
alt vi ville gjøre
for familien hverandre
vi i last og brast

hundreårsbølgen
sveipet over oss
alle seil revet ned
skipet helt uten mast
råttene opp på dekk

skipbrudden sitter jeg
ingen morse fra lysene
flamme uten forslag
bortenfor skjelvende hvitt gult

ser skipet ligge ved havn
råttene under dekk igjen
ved neste storm
vil skottene holde
skipet gå rett mot vinden

står på kaien - myser
skipslysene blinker mot meg
som om de var av stearin

ryggen stivner av angst
benene vil ikke flytte seg
forlist sjømann skyr sjøen

stretch

to be free
let the me grow
feel the stars be closer
weightless
not standing last in the row

how can we stretch
be a wallpaper of velvet
make the other move around
let the pools fill with roses

not bringing out the tears
not put the needles on
no table to the floor
no pieces of plates smears

still hold your hand
walking barefoot in the nightly snow
listening to the heartbeat
lightened by our eyes
