future talker

in your sleep
in your dream shape
you're like a rowan tree
first in a blur of white
then with your red pearls
set in green filigree

no words
just music
but when awake
you're a talker
talking future
into fading people
at summer's end

you say here comes the future
talking about the red and green
life is a path of adventure
you say can't you see
the sun

when awake you're a talker
but in your sleep
in your dream shape
you're like a rowan tree
no words
just music

you know summer
will never really die
it just becomes internal

you say here comes the future
you say can't you see
can't you see
the sun

Poetry videos on YouTube

My friend Dan-Tuyet Tham, a dedicated YouTube-contributor, offered to make poetry videos. I was rather doubtful about the project as I don't have much of a reciting voice, and being filmed is so not me! Anyway, we did it as an experiment: two short readings, one poem in English, and one poem in Danish.
At least, you can have a look at the crystals ...

beach thinker

basically you're in charge
because you know you can't control life
but you've got the blueprint

you bless your body
so sweet and well-known
a good friend to you
you in time

walking in the sand
near the waves
meeting a stormy petrel
on surfing wings

your see-through sarong
is lying in the wet sand
you pick it up tying
around you sweet remembered life
and more life still to come

bless your body
bless the sand
bless the waves
and the stormy petrel
on surfing wings

your body will be getting frail
because it's you in time
but you've got the blueprint

you're protecting your sweet body
with your intention to live
