untitled - Eiríkur Örn Norðdahl

I died but now I live for

ages of ages

and hold the keys of hell and death

Write now what you see:

Infants regurgitating their mother's milk

            there's a common cold in the air

                       and sunlit stool

Rightly we should reduce

           poverty

and chain these protesters

           to walls of houses

                         wailing walls

                                               breastplates

I am with you in the oppression,

                       the kingdom    &    the perseverance

I know your work

           You are alive in name and yet dead
