Dikter Silent Earth

1.

Silent Earth


Lonely earth

Silent earth

Seasons passing

Winds howling

Lakes glittering

Emptied

Fishless

2.

We, Who Once Were


We are the ones who once were

Trod your paths

Buried our hearts

Deep in your soil

We are the ones who once sang

Loved you, cried out to you

Devoured your beauty

Praised your sunsets

Your dusks and your dawns

We are the ones who ignored your pains

Let you suffer from our greed

Like spoiled children

Blinded by your light.

Save yourself from us!

Save us from ourselves!


3.

The Burning Earth

(Översatt från svenska av Robin Blanton)


The burning earth.

The tremoring earth.

The rock seething, bleeding, upheaving!

Hurling forth tongues, flicking, licking,

Winding, entwining with fiery fingers.

The shrieking flames.

The groaning flames.

Rolling, plunging in thundering waves

Gulping, gobbling with burning jaws

Cleaving us…drowning us…tearing us…

…howling, roaring ocean of flames!
