MOTORCRASH

Riding on my bicycle
I saw a motorcrash,
a proper motorcrash
lots of spectators.
I rushed to the centre
see the injured parents,
cuts on the children,
an awful motorcrash.
Dangerous motorcrash
Terribly bloody; motorcrash,
destructive motorcrash.
Took the mother,
sneaked with her secretly
went to my home,
nursed her gently
put on her bandages, gave her milk and biscuits,
she sighed pleasantly after this awful motorcrash.

"That girl on that bicycle showed great interest in all the motorcrashes
in the neighbourhood,
she look quite innocent, but believe you me I know what innocence looks like and it wasn't there; after she got that bicycle."

Then we disguised ourselves, took a taxi to her home, when her husband opened the door she introduced her-self, he said "where have you been all this time?"

BIRTHDAY

She lives in this house over there,
has her world outside it.
Grapples with the earth with her fingers and her mouth--she's five years old.
Thread worms on a string,
keeps spiders in her pocket, collects fly-wings in a jar, scrubs horse flies and pinches them on a line.

She's got one friend he lives next door, they listen to the weather.
He knows how many freckles she's got, she scratches his beard.
She's painting huge books, glues them together, they saw a big raven; it glided down the sky--she touched it.

Today's a birthday--they're smocking cigars, he got a chain of flowers, sows a bird in her knickers, they're sucking cigars, lie in the bathtub, chain of flowers.

POST (1995)
YOU'VE BEEN FLIRTING AGAIN


All that she said was true
All that she said was true
Give her some time
Give her some space
All that she said was true

All that she meant was good
All that she meant was good
Give her some time
Give her some space
All that she meant was good

How you reacted was right
How you reacted was right
Give her some time
Give her some space
How you reacted was right

AMMÆLI
(ICELANDIC VERSION OF 'BIRTHDAY')

Hún á heima í húsinu þarna
þar heim fyrir utan
Grabblar í mold með fingrunum
Og munninum, hún er fimm ára

þræðir orma upp á bönd
Geymir köngulær í vasanum
Safnar fluguvængjum í krús
Skrúbbar hrossaflugur
Og klemmir þær á snúru

Ohhh...

Hún á einn vin, hann býr í næsta húsi
þau eru að hlusta á veðrið
Hann veit hvað margar freknur hún er með
Hún klórar í skeggið hans

Hún mála þungar bækur
Og límir þær saman
Hún sá stóran borða
Hann sveif niður himininn
Hún snerti hann!

Ohhh...

Í dag er afmæli
þau sjúga vindla
Hann ber blómakeðju
Og hann saumar fugl
í nærbuxurnar hennar

Ohhh...

þau sjúga vindla...
þau liggja í baðkari...
í dag er hennar dagur...

Tam, tam, tam-a-tam-a-tam...

PAGAN POETRY
(VESPERTINE)

It danced through
The dark currents
I find;
An accurate copy
A blueprint of the pleasures

A secret code carved
A secret code carved
He offers a handshake
Creatures 5 fingers,
They form a pattern

Yet to be mapped
On a search for simplicity
By the darkest paint in me

It’s Pagan Poetry
Pagan Poetry

More coded signals,
They pulsate
They wake me up,
From my hibernating

On the search for simplicity
By the darkest paint in me
It’s pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

I love him *8
She loves *32

This time I’m going to keep me all to
myself
He makes me want to cut myself up
