a shared eye / et delt øje

and when they remember
their words are old and awkward
like stones in shoes

                              gotta stop 'em travelling
                              those dark nomads
                              in the windings

when we weren't looking
they dressed in the husks
of spiders

                               and took on themselves
                               all the sweetened pains
                               offered to the oak

of the downtrodden waiting
for the ferry [The Ferry, u know]
in the mud of their sins

                               let them keep an eye
                               one eye to share among them
                               as they travel

the wilderness of their
belly-buttons - and they grow paler
and translucent

                                as they cannot grasp the light
                                from each other. One and one
                                only can see

at any given time and the memory
of not being alone
will haunt them

                                and it will be treated
                                as an illness only curable
                                with red tablets

and the one mouth
they will have in common
will be insatiable

                                and each and every one
                                will discover
                                hunger













og når de husker
er deres ord gamle og besværlige
som sten i skoene

                               må forhindre dem i at rejse
                               disse mørke nomader
                               i vindingerne

da vi så væk
klædte de sig i edderkoppers
gamle huder

                               og påtog sig
                               al den forsødede smerte
                               der var ofret til de nedtrådtes

egetræ, de nedtrådte der ventede
på færgen [Færgen]
i deres synders mudder

                               lad dem beholde et øje
                               eet øje de kan dele mellem sig
                               mens de rejser i

deres navlers vildmark
og de bliver blegere
og gennemskinnelige

                                eftersom de ikke kan opfange
                                fra hinanden. Een og kun én
                                kan se

på ethvert givet tidspunkt og erindringen
om ikke at være alene
vil hjemsøge dem

                                og det vil blive opfattet
                                som en sygdom der kun kan helbredes
                                med røde piller

og den ene mund
de vil have til fælles
vil være umættelig

                                og alle og enhver af dem
                                vil opdage
                                sult
