Jürgen Rooste

in danish town rivers are flowing

in danish town rivers are flowing
who said there were none
in my dreams danish town roars
like a waterfall
down o’er the edge of the world
 
each of my thoughts is a flash
from a machine-gun tape
every quiver of my body
is a signal from a radio transmitter
is someone out there
 
some marvellous amateur?

in danish town rivers are flowing

taanilinnas voolab jõgesi
kes on öelnud et ei voola
mu unedes kohiseb taanilinn
kosena
alla ilma servalt

iga mu mõte on siis säfatus
kuulipildujalindilt
iga mu keha värin
laine ööraadiosaatjalt
on\'s keegi kuuldel

mõni imeline amatöör?
