"MINÄ RAKASTAN SINUA PALJON PALJON!" ( "I love you very much!" )
"MINÄ RAKASTAN
SINUA PALJON PALJON!"
( "I love you very much!" )
the sky
full of stars
as if suddenly
as if billions of stars
had been ordered
and crammed into place
he realised he
had become lost
in the silence
these were Finnish stars
and the silence too
was very very Finnish
he turned on his heel
and then turned
again and again
"Hello!" said the snow
only in Finnish
of course
"Hei itse!"
I answered it
as if we were friends
after an hour
the way home
finally found me
that night
curled up
in his life
he watched with his wife
Hiroshima Mon Amour
with Finnish subtitles
she translating
it into English
for his benefit
"...and then one day
my love you came
out of eternity..."
both of them
not realising they
had become pregnant
