by Kristin Berget (b. 1975)
Translation by Ulf Krook

Kanske vaktar en ängel
Language: English  after the Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Det måste tömmas 
för att kunna fyllas 
falla till jorden 
löv äpplen granater aska
Din hand i min
Pendeln som svänger
Vi uppfann ordet 
sömn och sa
Det här är en handling 
lägg dig här och vila 
kanske vaktar en ängel
över din sömn 
din jord

Ulf Krook och Ida Linde
