Thor Sørheim: 'System'

 


System

 

We can listen to the silence

in the universe before the earth rises.

We can hear the singing of the flock of sparrows

that never sleep in the thorny fairytale hedge.

We can see clouds of sand lift themselves

over the desert and autumn-yellow leaves

that are whirled up from the lawn.

We can think that

we too are dust, just systematised.
