Hvordan kan jeg flytte ind

***This is a big video, so I recommend watching in full-screen***

Reading of a poem I wrote for a session of constant writing (you can read more about it here: http://lolkhjort.smartlog.dk/english--how-can-i-move-in-post255056 ). The poem is called 'How can I move in', and here's the translation:

***
How can I move into the world
when it is already furnished
with cities like radioactive beehives
blinking with millions of ideas in the dark

How can I move into the city
when it is already furnished
with millions of beating hearts in the silence
and millions of mouths that choose freely between
talking, kissing and enclosing themselves
in themselves or each other
or the immortality that science promises
to attain someday

How can I move into myself
when I am already furnished
with eons of gaping emptiness
and ideas I don't know if I'll be allowed to keep
so I can open them and read them
in the pause between invention and execution.
***

The video was filmed halfway up a mountain in Engelberg, Switzerland.
