From ‘I CIVIL’

By Jacob Silkstone

 

[one_half]I wake up when the sun appears

from behind the house

as if it had slept in a box

 

 

 

 

 

You say, you were lying awake most of the night

 

You were thinking about

what we could do together

 

 

 

 

 

Tell me everything [/one_half]
Jeg vågner, da solen står op

bag huset,

som sov den i en æske

 

 

 

 

 

Du siger, du lå vågen det meste af natten

 

Du lå og tænkte på,

hvad vi kunne gøre sammen

 

 

 

 

 

Fortæl mig det hele
