Small Hill Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Small Hill.
In a landscape with many hills there is a flat part
that has a small hillock by the road.

Two olive trees and four flat boulders arranged like
furniture in a living room and a carpet of soft grass.

Is it an abandoned movie set where the moon is
a balloon? How many takes did the scene take?

In life there is no retake we are expected to get it right
reading from a script not yet written

When building the road they put stones in a heap,
dust and bird droppings made it into a small knoll.

That´s the way it goes.
