Perkele! Poem by Juergen Himmelstoff

Far in the misty forests of the land,
A manifestation of a curse word
Is uttered for the first time by a
Fisherman returning home...
With no fish to eat.

Later, in that same microcosm
But in centuries to come,
A businessman is with a lady,
Not his wife, and no protection on.

The next morning he leaves Helsinki,
The winter sun is up.
He howls as a wolf as he remembers -
A venereal virus is now in his member.

And the word is uttered again:
'Perkele! '

Resounds in the craggy mountains for millenia.
Like Christ.
