From ‘I CIVIL’

By Jacob Silkstone

 

[one_half]I see a magpie

landing in the eaves on the house across the street,

and another one follows,

spreading out its tail feathers

 

 

 

 

 

You spread our legs in a fan

across the sheets [/one_half]
Jeg ser en skade

lande i tagrenden på huset overfor,

og en anden følger efter,

spreder halefjerene ud
 

 

 

 

Du spreder vores ben i en vifte

ud over lagnet
