Spineller

“og jeg ser den indiske solnedgangs sorbetisfarvede himmel
silhuetten af kronerne på junglens højeste træer mens de basker i blæsten
så varm den vind må være, så kølig sval nu under aften

der vil jeg hen

der må jeg hen

der vil jeg sidde og fløjte og smile til folk og godt vide at de må tro jeg er vanvittig”
