dense








what birds plunge through is not the intimate space,
in which you see all Forms intensified.
(In the Open, denied, you would lose yourself,
would disappear into that vastness.)

Space reaches from us and translates Things:
to become the very essence of a tree,
throw inner space around it, from that space
that lives in you. Encircle it with restraint.
It has no limits. For the first time, shaped
in your renouncing, it becomes fully tree.

Rainer Maria Rilke

i will return































funny what things i remember
and what of them i forget
i can still remember
as i walked through ground of Iceland
and maybe i forget some things
too fast

last few months were a true waste of time
-time that does not exist
: therefore there was no waste at all.

i travel around making sure that people ain't no good.
and from my travels i can only say
that people ain't no good if i show my weakness
those who do not take advantage from my weakness
are called stupid, or friends.
those who took advantage
i forget

come and look straight into my weakness
into my forgetting

what will you say?

this feeling , with icecold wind in my hair,
with icecold ground under my feet
with whispering mind
"will i return home?"
"am i home ?"
strenght from awareness of not knowing

and still Iceland sings to me
will i return


Hve blásnautt er hjarta sem einskis saknar
