Törstigt grep alkisen flaskan.
Morgonsupen
väckte kroppen,
stillade ångesten,
bedövade sinnet.

Hungrigt grep jag tag i dig.
Kvinnokroppen
fyllde ensamheten,
lindrade smärtan,
lagade hålet

hon lämnat.

Tack.

Thirsty, the alcie reached for the bottle.
The hair-of-the-dog
invigorated the body,
dulled the senses,
appeased the demons.

Hungry, I reached for you.
The female body
dispelled the loneliness,
deadened the pain,
filled the void

she'd left.

Thank you.
