Haldor Paulsson was
born in a small country town in northern Sweden

Back to a poets cafe
An old body by stone
an old body by stone is looking out over the nordic countries
several kilometres inside the earth's interior
deep in the heat is the body now
it's an extremely old ape who was created in brown stone
which in billions of years
in sunshine and winter cold
is looking out over the northern part of the world
a stone which is deadlocked in the mountain
a face thousand metre above the surface
with two open eyes
which are watching the forest and the sea
during a curly hair of clouds
or is this bone by stone
a giant dinosaur
a mammoth a lizard
with a long sharp neck and outstretched legs
which become frozen and caught in the earth
when the body slowly tried to escape
from a heavy earthquake with thunder and fire
which shook the planet
myself, I could never hear the old body wail
and a loud noise on the planet

Urfigur ser ut över Norden
flera kilometer ner i jordens inre
nere i hettan
är kroppen nu
på urapan i brun sten
som i miljarder år
i sol och vinterkyla
sett ut över norden
fastlåst i berget
ett ansikte tusen meter högt
med två öppna ögon
som bevakar granskogen och havet
under molnhåret
eller också är stenknotan
en gigantisk dinosaurie
en mammut
en ödla
med lång vass hals och utsträckta ben
som stelnade och fastnade i jorden
då den sakta kröp undan
skalvet dånet och elden
som skakade om i planeten
medan jag själv
aldrig hörde urdjurets jämmer och dån
