Antti Kaitainen [English translation]

Rain, wind, black water

Cold everywhere

Wet clothes on the dispirited

The lakeshore traveller

Come forth black coals

Burned trees

Around the sedges and

The shore's mosses

Fire between two

Stuck into earth

Silent skewers

Now already abandoned

But why is in the earth only

One seating-twig

When from this campfire

Rose the last smoke into the air

Where

Where is Antti Kaitainen

Ears hear a woman's scream

Was it a woman

Maybe by the campfire

Sitting with company

Hear a scream at the same time

An old man's

Anxiously already

Making it half way through his trip

Half-way trip that

Was not even

Has never been

In existence

Where

Where is Antti Kaitainen
