Grandma´s horses


Grandma confuses her candy mix
with seeds for the garden
and ponders upon the mysterious growths
of purple dragee flowers
and green liquorice branches
and thinks:
perhaps i have sown
Peter Belli tobacco?
but she reasons that in order
to get hallucinations
you have to smoke it first
and the strongest thing she´s tried
are Green Look
and she hasn´t smoked that in years

But the horses eat from the growths
and their manes become rainbow coloured
and their eyes are so deep
like only those who know…

Quo imus 2


In the snow storm stands a cross
it is raised by the lamb
and attempted owerthrown
by the lion

Through the blizzard
the lion sees me not
but the lamb sees and invokes me
but the lion holds it´s paw
for the lamb´s mouth

I see their interaction
but the blizzard prevents
my intervention

I try but to invoke the lamb
but the blizzard takes my words
and through the blizzard

Only the cross may be seen
not the lamb
and not the lion

For the blizzard maketh all
indistinct
but I invoke the lamb
by laying a hand
before my own mouth

Quo imus?


In a field in a blizzard
a lamb standeth
holding a cross with one leg
and treadeth on a lion

In the blizzard it sees me not
in front of the white wall
from which I turn away my eyes
so that it shall not stare at me

In the field in the blizzard
the lamb sees me not
but the lion looks to the wall
and the wall looks at me

Like the lion I have bones and nerves and skin
but no mane, and
like the lion haveth not, I have
the urge to drink
Death away from my bones

Like the lion cannot ask:
Quo imus – where do we go?
and like the lion I cannot see
the way to walk towards the lamb

For the storm takes my words away
and the wall takes the storm

Cimbrer Land, a home (Himmerland, en hjemstavn)

My land is a peninsula, attatched to my other flesh merely by a small strip of land between Angest and Klejtrup. All other borders are water. This is true. Only by the four kilometres southern border between Klejtrup Lake and Onsild, there is no water.

There is water, lots of water, sources that spring from between massive hills. Sources that bubble up from the underground. Streams. lakes. The raised bog Little Wild Bog is a big sponge, which maintains the winter three weeks longer than in the other land, except from Great Wild Bog (up north, Vendsyssel, in the darkness), which is also shrouded longer than everyone else in the cold fog. here, i can sit in the hollow road for days, and turn chippings of stones, if it was not because The Thunder Calf, in a mighty drunkenness, had punched such a big one, that the chizzle fell out of my hand, and got stuck in my wrist, right in the artery with such a tremendous power, that the doctors had to place a menhir in the wound instead of the chizzle, as the blood would flow like the water from Little Blue Spring (the mighty one) through the stream of Lindenborg and out in Limfjorden (the limit)

At this time of year, the moor is all black and shrouded in fog. The fragrances of heathers and crowberry and honey keep hanging on, and I breath so greedily, as if my survival depended on the sweet fragrance. The smeel of the moor, never let me down, it eludes me never. Its area is less extended than in the former great moor plains of Mid-vest jutland. But the fragrance is similar. The heathers. their blackness in november.

I saw the light of day the nineteenth of october in Terndrup, Lyngby parish, Fleskum shire (as the name reveals, its about bacon, the seal of the shire is a boar with raised bristles.)

I do not remember the weather in clear pictures on that exact day, but it occurs that it was greyis, October dampness. After this, I was installed by Gravlev, on top of a hill with rowanberry trees, that shone in silhouettes in front of the sunset. Strangely, these hills are a common theme. I have always had an excellent outlook. If I d not sit in a hollow, where the Thunder Calf can surprise me in his mighty drunkenness, I generally can see him come. As in the before mentioned hollow road, where my outlook did not reach. he surprised me there. he may surprise. that is what he do.

I prefer the high places. I prefer to be able to see far. Even far from the Cimbrerland, there are high places where I can establish a suitable overview. the Thunder Calf shall never surprise me again with his brandy reeking mouth. When it has rained, he shakes his big fur like a dog, and the smelly water encircles him like a halo.

"To me comes all flesh," he laughs, only God knows where he got it from. He laughs with his worm-eaten and weather-beaten face right into my face, and he reeks of brandy!

My new blog in English

It is monday, the first of October, the air is nice and cool, and I´ve spend a couple of wonderful days in the wonderful city of Berlin. My friend Andrea Schroeder just released her first album "Blackbird" on Glitterhouse Records, and I came to Berlin to be here on this wonderful occasion. And lately have met so many nice people from outside Denmark, who have taken interest in my art, and thus I decided to start translating my poems and short stories into English. It´s a funny process to translate from your mother tongue into another language. It´s almost like reading it again for the first time, as the tone becomes altered and new shades of the texts are revealed. Some things cannot be translated, other things seem to becoome even better.
The poems published hereunder are both new and old. Should you have any comments, or even suggestions as to better expressions, bad translations etc., please comment below the texts, or email me - my adress in in the right side, below the photo.
I´d love to hear from you!

Hugs and kisses from Louise <3



Big deceit


1.

Do my eyes deceive me?
there are noone here
communicating into nothing
no communication within nothing
do my eyes deceve me?
I have no eyes abd see nothing

2.
Do my eyes deceive me?
the city on the mountain is burning
nothing can hide the burning city
the rain washes down the ruins
centuries collaps
historical buildings
and wonders
crumble to dust
Hurray! Hurray!
More of that stuff!

I used to be my own master
it was so hot
I his my deceived eyes from the sun
the cold could not touch me

My sensed deceive me
they do not register the hanging fruits
the heaviness of the juicy orchids
the vapour from the fountain
the selected shadow of the sun clock
grass in million dollar league
green as hell!

Read me withour guilt
there are no words on these pages
kiss me without guilt
I have nothing to offer you

However, I can tell you
that the Teletubbies deceive each other
big deceit!
every sunday
running wild
like mnkeys
sunburnt
graimes of rain on their dusty faces
behind the rows of the wastelands

My heart deceives me
makes the brain play out
worst case scenarios
gives me shortness of breath
cold sweat
digital programming:
0: no pain
1: pain
0-1-0-1-0
binary pulse
and my brain deceives me
fuck that!
nno explanation nescessary


3.
I my dream i told the truth
with the lime green coolness of the forest
it came through my breath, without difficulty
in the morning it was gone
at night it drips from the moist poplars
stands endlessly tall against the sky
and passes stylishly and deliberate
towrads the foaming laughter
of the horizon

Soprano loving


I´m watching from the platform
while he boards the pussy train
taking all my walks
getting washed by the rain
all my clever words
flushing down the drain

Soprano loving
Soprano killing

You´ve got the evil
and the bad ass-ness
you´ve got the more
I´ve got the less
whenever you´re out roaming
oh, how I feel the pain
while you´re riding on the killing train

You know what it´s like to love
and what it´s like to kill
I know just the academic
way to break down what we feel
and your wife and mistress
how they do complain
all the while you ride aboard the pussy train

Soprano loving
Soprano killing

You ride the girls like horses
offer them a shoe
dump the fucking bitches
they ain´t got a clue
fuck them, kick them, kill them
bada bada bing
love them, hurt them, leave them
they don´t know a thing
of how it really feels 
to be the number one
all the fear and anger
how it comes undone
all my pearls of wisdom
were they all in vain
all the while you ride the ego train

Soprano loving 
Soprano killing
Soprano loving
Soprano killing
