St. Coll.
And the buildings add shade to shade. Through the solitary streets we´ll walk, standing at the lonesome tea tray smoking the last cigarettes on the empty watering hole while watching a boat disappear in the haze. We´ll all be lonely. The empty driveways, all the empty parking lots. "At least the streetlights are illuminating..." The wind is our only chum left, which is bearable. We are driving on the wheels of no fuel... the strained st. Coll, the overdo. I´m on the lonesome limb without the halo. The graven bough near my toe is the bayleaf I wear above. My wife and children gone, I´m left alone on the bow... the bartable neighbouring my head. Visiting the rest.

The rum bottle encasing my head.
A bottle of rum encasing my dreams.

The bailiff is here, he´s here to lead me out. My cell is cold, for the outdoors bring a storm. -The rancor is in bloom. The vineyard I used to watch with elation is now in the palm of my hands, -on my lips. Out-of-doors and dopey I brood... the ship is sinking and I´m inboard. The hue of rainbow mountains in blues, the remoteness is viewless. Is there a view of happiness in this room?

Ljóð eftir Viktor Kaldalóns

Sær í átt að sæng.
Ástarljóð til hins visna.
Minn kæri vin... það mun versna.
Málverk stöðnunar.
St. Coll.
Windows blow in like ten thousand ice floes upon the snowy quarters.
The brighter side of the day goes down in three, two, one...
Náðarhögg.
The first lightpost on St. Coll.
My date of birth kept in memory of a bartender (pt. one).
My date of birth kept in memory of a bartender (pt. two).
It feels like dying, you know...
Útöndun.
Our graves undulate with fever.
Fáninn lágreisti.
The regent roads to nowhere; the end of the world.
Just like the corner of all nights.
Just like the corner of the day...
Tunglhaf.
Anddyrið kringum sviðið.
Lágröddun.
Væg túlkun.
The dead queen and us.
Endir á litblæ, hulinn bær.
Útrýming.
Líflaus blómstrun.
Skýrar, en þó svo daufar.
Sunnudagsgredda.
Dálæti; og ástin bíður ósigur.
Brotin umgjörð.
Svartur er sjórinn.
Horfin fjarvera.
Og allt varð grátt.
Ljóðið fannst aldrei.
The lively queen and us.
Tilvonandi Eilífðartími.
Dökk spor.
Í eyði.
The prime of the queen.
Sýningin tælandi á sviði slökknandi borgarljósa.
Regina.
Upstream they went towards the valley.
Contiguous grapevine, old and all around.
Unsuited.
Carry a no-win mist inside God´s acre.
With only a wire and death attached.
Drizzling in tween the rest.
Without a pole star and wherries to take us home.
I will leave you dumfounded just like before.
Heilög borg?
Well lit allure of anesthesia.
My naked naiad.
Pharisaic lifetime of a saint.
Einfari; loftmengun.
Brúðguminn.
Þú og ég.
Ylur.
Herskari.
Örvilnun skýjaglópana.
Sjónarhorn skuggsælla engla í sorgarklæðum.
Lof efstu svalanna.
Það er að stytta upp.
Vöggugjöf launmorðingjans.
Blessun.
Fjárhagsörðugleikar nútímablíðu.
Von er...
Vonleysi er...
