1. natural selection

you razed the town of your birth
built a pompeii
burnt smell
in the quadra natura

in the town library
books from bebelplatz
finally they read
degenerate poetry

it is beautiful to witness
a new era
a new city
natural selection

the evangelists sing
in the ruins
with a smile
you unleash the lionesses


1. det naturlige utvalg

du rev din fødeby
bygget et pompeii
det lukter svidd
i kvadranaturen

på folkebiblioteket
bøker fra bebelplatz
endelig leser de
degenerert diktning

det er skjønt å beskue
en ny tid
en ny by
det naturlige utvalg

evangelistene synger
i ruinene
med et smil
slipper du løvinnene


2. mime's ice-well


geburah
yggdralife
fairnorn
spellmind

zeroes came
ones went
rebuilt were
buried cities

the poetry rests
in hell's hard-drive
burnt bones
on shining snow

the sights froze
in mime's ice-well
there signs unearthed
their murdered equals


2. mimes isbrønn

gebura
yggdraliv
fagernorn
galderhug

nuller kom
ettall gikk
gjenreist ble
begravde byer

diktningen hviler
i helheims harddisk
brente bein
på skinnende skare

synene frøs
i mimes isbrønn
tegn fant der
sine myrdede like

3. twin towers

your gift was ashes
a burning plane
dust and broken glass
from towers crushed

grains of sand sift down
from the hourglasses
the end of history
a pile of rubble

your gift was vengeance
shimmering kerosene
three thousand faces
dissolved into pixels

your holy war
a hijacked crow
the wings wave
mildly at death
