WHEN SOMEBODY DIES Poem by Henrik Nordbrandt

WHEN SOMEBODY DIES



When somebody dies
his surroundings remain:

The distant mountains
the houses in the block
and the Sunday road which
passes over a wooden bridge
just before leaving the town.

And the spring sunshine
which in early afternoon
reaches a shelf with books
and magazines which doubtlessly
once were new.

It's not the least bit strange.

Even so, I've often
wondered about it.

Den er en dårlig oversættelse. This is a bad translation - literally true but unpoetic
