Glucose

in the bloody mouths of mosquitoes

A sad cellist tunes his instrument

Caramel scented

A Summer resort of Adolescent days gone by

The outhouse on a hot summers day

And the Flies In All The Colours Of The Rainbow

The Sun hit paint on this Sanctuary Like...

Slant the rays on a Dandelion head

The leaves Slash

Deep Water

Safe from a Sunstroke

The slanting dance of Light

Momentarily

Pastellated

By

The Closing Signal of the Horizon

Before The Fall

The closing of the Curtain

Bed-Time-Story-Wind

Resting in Smooth Waters

Carries a Finger-Breadth Melody

The Lakes Surface Tension

On the amplitude of oscillation

And it Flies

Sweeps the back of a Dragonfly
Trails
A boat In the Evening Stream

The Violin Concerto of Summers to Come

Tide, Ebb and Flow

Blotches of Ink Mark the Masterpiece

OverGrown With Weeds

Up
Down
Stairs
Dreams
Streams
And the seams
In Granny`s clothes

She used to sing in the mornings

Talk to the Cat

"Marilyn!" She would call Her

A Beauty of Felinean Proportions

Buzzzzzz....

Buzzzzz.....

CompoundEyePerception

Myriads of realities within a Iris

Endless Memories of a Few Summers

in Childhood

An eternity

Drones Drop Their Wings

Surrender

And the Thieves

Honeybees

collect the nectar of SunDrops

They Defy the Power of Black Holes

And A lone Figure collects the Honey

a Bit of warmth Passed Thru The Cold Space

Throws The Lies Of yesterdays papers into the

Furnace

To warm a corner of this Third Rock from the Sun

On a cold and Hung over Spring Morning

And this is The Original Version
Sokerihuurretut lumpeenkukat

Glukoosi

                          sääskien verisissä suissa
suruisa sellisti
                           virittää varkain


                    karamellin tuoksuisia, entisen kesämökin ulkohuussin pinnoitteen

lailla valoa taittavia,

                                voikukan teriöistä, lehtien viiltämät
syvänteet, kuuman auringonpiston, suojassa taittavilta säteiltä,

                    suojautumaan pakottava, hetkeksi voitettuna, horisontin valomerkin siivittämin

iskuin

pastelloima
                            parahiksi ennen laskua,
          suvantoon lepäämään asettunut,

iltasatutuuli kantaa sormenlevyistä sävelmää pintaveden värähtelytaajuuden aaltopituudelta,

lentää

korennon selkää, viistää, vene joella, iltamyöhään

                                                              trumpetti ajaa järvenpintaa

seuraavan kesän viulukonsertto
                                                        vuosien vuoksissa

                          mustetahrat mestariteoksen rikkaruohorakennelman


                       ylä

                kerroksissa

                           ala

surrrurrr..............................

surrrrr.....................

verkkoperseptio

        näkinkengissä,

                                   lumpeiden

                                                               ulottumattomissa ,

                                                                                   siintää auringonkierto
                 rakennetta                               kennoa

                                        makeaksi jähmettynyttä solaarista siirappia



                               mehiläisten kavalkadien ryöstöretket uhmaavat syksyiltana
lasisessa purkissa
                                            mustien aukkojen valtaa yli avaruuden                          liekki
lepattaa ikkunalla
                             alttiina                                                                 vireille, väreille

                                              kohmeloisen kevätpäivän radioaalloilla


                                  varkain luikkii                       auringonkierto,

           hunaja purkista

                                      ropisee

                                                   ja sanomalehdet lakaistaan

       jouluillan lämmikkeeksi.

It would be a treat to hear both read outloud by you, as I've only heard Finnish a handful of times.
I love dragonflies, watching them skim the ponds and road gullies while seeking their prey. Your micro-snapshot perspective reminds me of an entomologist-friend I worked with at a commercial insectary.
Thank you, for such an enjoyable read!

Again, as I started my English interpretation it started ramificating

You know, if you want to hear an inspired man speaking in finnish check out this theater school class from 84.

It starts with reflections on culture-injuries and their effect on posture.

I think it could be interesting even without understanding the language...
