In your thoughts (1994): Översättning av "Allt tillåtet". Jag fick hjälp av en amerikan, som finputsade min engelska text, när jag var post-doc. i USA 1994.


In your thoughts.

You are sitting on the train
and suddenly allow yourself to wish for
all those things you want to realize.

It is not memories
that you see so clearly
but the glimpses of those experiences you want to have.

You see yourself and your friend on your way home
you are walking in the night in a park
birds are chirping
and the morning's light arrives
You recognize the quietness of a different time
one where you would rather be.

You and another lay inside a wooden house with draughty windows
outside is a windy night
where lone cars sometimes drive past
their tires singing in the asphalt.

You imagine that one day you will celebrate
from wine bottles, burst yesterday, with friends, without problems
sunny days within you
a summertime to come, in your life.
