ALCOVE

Naked Peasant into Alcove seeps
Enshrined within House asleep
In obedience to a Floral pattern

“What belongs to shadow slick and dark? My long dead Mother, I saw her slither about.
And out in the moor, blue under the moon, naked and shivering; I saw Father, the Tyrant of my youth, by my window arrive mute. With a baleful stare, bathed in the night he sought my blood, my skin and my hearth.”

ALKOVE



Nøgne Bonde i Alkove siver ind
Forankret i Hus i Søvnen blind
I tjeneste til et Blomstret Mønster
I tjeneste til et Blomstret Mønster

”Hvad rører sig i skyggen glat og mørk? Min for længst døde mor, jeg så hende netop snige sig bort. Og ude i mosen, blå under månen, nøgen og skælvende; min far, min barndoms tyran, ved mit vindue badet i natten, stirrede blot, så på mig olmt. Han søgte mit blod, min hud og min ovn.”

Solopgang bløder gennem Vinduessår
Bonde fra Alkove genopstår
og bærer den Regionale Dragt
