where to?

gjøk og sisik, trost og strær / flyr jævla langt / for å leve som de vil 
cuckoos and siskins, thrushes and starlings / fly damn far / to live as they please

A place to inhabit
a residence here.

I would like a new world to live differently.
That is to say, I want a world that works better.
And I feel the pain we all experience 
in the seconds of misunderstanding,
just when we don't know where to look:
between understanding and not understanding.

I haven't seen you again
where I'm hiding, the sun shines higher and the air is lighter.
I haven't seen you in our corner since you left our house 
but now you might yet stroll around 
 with someone else. 

I don't believe you ever loved me and that hurts,
but not as much as seeing 
little by little
the disbelief in everything else.
Joy abandons me and I continue
the routine of vitamins, 
running out and I keep going
the sea is dying
and still moving
reading books I don't understand,
making useless pacts
and still moving.
Our world is ending. 
Waves reach us now
on the shores lying down to enjoy
first and last days of sun.
It is time to linger,
the truth is, there is only so much left.

The sun setting or, on the contrary, rising higher and destroying everything. Nature hardening or, on the contrary, dissolving, melting under these blue skies. The tectonic plates cracking or becoming ever lighter, what seems to work, lulls us, sounds like being alive.
And when we turn off the light, everything collapses.

DU SNAKKER MED EN VOKSEN DAME JEG ELSKA DEG MEN JEG VOKSTE FRA DET VINTER VÅR OG SOMMER ER DET HØST I MEG - blanke morran (Valkyrien Allstars) -- cuando al principio o al final de la primavera  quien es acechado  por las esquinas de la pista de baile se contagia del ritmo los sentidos agudizan ropas pegadas al cuerpo empieza la sed y un latido que preocupa ¿seré la elegida?  ¿caerán al fin unas gotas sobre mí? para encontrar el significado concreto a unas canciones infantiles: el patio de mi casa, de hecho, no es particular le damos la vuelta a la página y sigue siendo el mismo capítulo. un nido antiguo aún sobrevive mojado, la misma rama del mismo árbol. los pájaros regresan al lugar procuro cerrar la ventana sin golpear el marco: no los quiero asustar. no me preocupa respirar, atrás quedaron  las inhalaciones urgentes. tengo tiempo el final, creo que ya conozco, todo esto  ahora también se irá y de repente el otoño estará aquí

leave

The sun was setting when we started telling ourselves the prophecy. It had been following us all day and the time was set and we didn't know what else could be said. We were looking at the leaves change colour in the backyard and my friend moved to another country and I changed my wardrobe  while we were trying to agree. Autumn was suddenly here. Everything had been lost so slowly that we forgot what we used to have.  Our trip was near,  and I braced myself. I felt as if I was leaving too, falling from the tree,  fading into the street.

patrimonio

quiero un set de tazas pequeñas y homogéneas que compráramos en un pueblo del oeste de noruega  y que nuestra familia usara durante dos o tres generaciones y que se desgastara incluso después de nosotros quiero huir a tu cuerpo contra el mío desde la montaña donde habitan los lobos nos llamarán a voces nos recordarán que nuestra casa está en llamas poco a poco en el descreímiento lo perderemos todo todo lo que ganábamos  y en las conquistas de lo perdido querré saber perder para hilvanar con el silencio el abrazo al abismo, el viento las nubes se deslizan despacio  - duele subir la vista al cielo - intuiré que me voy pero me querré ir porque últimamente lo habré olvidado todo
