I get to the bird cages
two old cages stood here
corroded beside the street

50 krones they were supposed to cost
perhaps they were sold
at their place
lies an old parasol
in the gras
the summer is over
december dusk

The shop takes a break
from 12 to 2 p.m.
do you remember the summer
we used to sit around there
after work
in our pickers clothes
suntanned
drank a beer
or a coke
smoked cigarettes
stroked the dog
or the little cat
worn out by the fieldwork
we smiled in the late
afternoon sun
and watched the cars pass by
hej, hej…

I follow the plum trees
down to the sea
grey wood
here we were lying in the gras
work break
we ate, drank, smoked,
squinted in the blue sky
and didn‘t think of anything
or something
in the summer of 2018
