Per Højholt - 'Så og så mange lærker'

Such-and-such a number of larks

383 larks have arrived 384

the tops of the birch trees are seething (385) like balloons actually balloons

       you inflate gas deposits on stalks curtseying like birch trees yes completely like

       birch trees that are seething

388 larks have arrived and are singing above mole-hills 389

winter’s sleep-paths are being uncovered winter’s sleep-paths lie uncovered

       and full of water the sun strikes them

a morris drives up over the hill and down again and rumbles up along the sunken road and

      approaches splashingly past the pine trees

the postman’s morris comes into sight beneath 390 larks.
