Øystein Orten: POEMS IN ENGLISH

No 29

I laugh
at the idea of the ocean would be missing the beaches

that the butterflies would be test flying spring
one more time

I still inhale
what makes the tree bloom

later the last remains of laughter
descend from the woods

and the dead fly in the window sill
is filling the emptiness with an imagined humming


(29 from kjensla av at det ikkje regnar andre stader enn her 2004 translated into english by Hilde Petra Brungot)
