Giordano Bruno blev levende brændt
for at hævde, at Verdensaltet er uendeligt
og uden midtpunkt.
Men efter hvad posedamen sagde
havde han ret: Jeg har set en UFO
fuld af engle lande inde på kirkegården.
Måske er det noget jeg har drømt,
men de kom ud med deres flygler og trompeter
og spillede en koncert på Carl Nielsens grav.
Det frøs ti grader den nat, og jeg regnede med
jeg var død. Men da jeg vågnede, og solen stod op,
var alle gravene dækket af fjer.

Giordano Bruno was burnt alive
for maintaining that the cosmos is infinite
and without a midpoint.
But according to what the bag lady said
he was right: I have seen a UFO
full of angels land in the cemetery.
Maybe it’s something I dreamt
but they came out carrying their grand pianos and trumpets
and played a concert on Carl Nielsen’s grave.
It was ten degrees below that night and I figured
I was dead. But when I woke up and the sun rose
all the graves were covered with feathers.
