belfrys klocka
tar mig till en annan tid
så rätt den går

clock of the belfry
showing the right time, yet
taking me to the past

l’orologio del belfredo
mi porta indietro
per quanto esatto

Inspired by the clock of the ancient belfry in Ghent

sommarveranda –
insmugna i manuset
några okända frön

summer verandah –
into the notebook
a few unknown seeds

veranda estiva –
s’infilano tra i fogli
dei semi ignoti

när jag vänder blad
ljudet av ett löv
som faller

turning the page
the sound of a leaf
falling

volto il foglio
suono di una foglia
che cade

molnen skingras
i varje pöl
en måne

parting clouds
in every puddle
a moon

diradate le nubi
in ogni pozza
una luna

våg efter våg
växlande strandlinje
samma horisont

wave after wave
shifting the shoreline . . .
same horizon

onda dopo onda
battigia alterna
stesso orizzonte
