Albatross
Siril Malmedal Hauge
Albatross
I had the strangest dream
my hands turned into wings
and my mouth was a beak
I flew
high
into the blue
I saw my surroundings
from a different point of view
I became an albatross
the biggest of them all, a boss
I whirled over seas
I saw a boat
and I cleared my throat
I'd sing so they
can find their way back home again
thousands
of water drops
in all of them
a silhouette
thousands
if water drops
in all of them
a silhouette
flying high
flying free
an arrow sendt me down
I awoke
before I drowned
heavy hangs the albatross
with it's white wings, no loss
wonder how it must be
for him
who aimed
a tragedy
even though
he only existed
in my dream
