Poems in Finnish by:
Olli Heikkonen - Finland
Don’t take my name in vain
Sink your fingers into the darkness of my fur
When I swim across the pond
Won’t you close your eyes
Don’t touch
I come through the blizzard
Irsk. Noise above rail yard
When Laika, abandoned in space, barks
The crowned head looks at the world
Bow before the mountain ash
The sun rises
Oh, Sputnik, iron star
When night strips away the horse wings
Risto Oikarinen - Finland
God’s back has collapsed particles
The wind howls, plays the saw, bends the hazed horizon
The novice worries on the monastery wall
In real life I am here
Let the waves lash and smash down the wall
Heaven must be demolished
Sirkka Turkka - Finland
Stars are again like a teary ballad, and at night
The dog sleeps behind checkered curtains
