The Video
They sent me a video from a time gone,
a family gathering, wine glasses held aloft
happy faces, what a grand illusion,
Moving pictures only mirrors a surface,
of something passing, it is not like the sea
mirroring the sky and telling a story
These moving pictures tell a big lie, nothing
about the anguish and betrayal anger and
clenched fist, voices shouting obscenities.
I knew those people once a Nordic year is
so short only lasts from April till September,
the rest is gloom and drunken melancholy.
