SPRING FEVER

“What has always made the state a hell on earth has been precisely that man has tried to make it heaven.”
― Friedrich Hölderli

“I mean—hell, I been surprised how sane you guys all are. As near as I can tell you’re not any crazier than the average asshole on the street—” one flew over the cuckoo´s nest

SUPPOSED TO BECOME

Sooner Or Later
08/2009 Joshua Abelow

Sooner
or
later
we
all
become
the
things
we
are
supposed
to
become.
I
wonder
what
it
is
we
are
becoming.

Lazy Poem
04/2010 Joshua Abelow

You
don't
get
famous
twiddling
your
thumbs
unless
your
thumbs
are
very
special.

A Giant
09/2009 Joshua Abelow

When you turn your back
on everything familiar
a giant appears
and feeds you little mangos.

YOU PROMISED ME POEMS

III

- Det är kanske i försvinnandet vi finns till,
sa poeten. Och försvann in i dikten.
Sen dess har vi inte sett till honom.

IV

Också tystnaden har sina ord.
Ordens rötter står mellan raderna.

Genom timglasets kinder kan du se:
Vändningen

Så vänder också vi till och från
lyder vi lagar
som det oskrivna skriver.
Och tystnaden lägger till
mellan ordens bryggor.


From "Vändningar" by Lars Fredin (1919-1988)
