NATURE
A Trip in the White and Cold
Volatile impressions from an afternoon trip in the white and cold. — These ski trips, it’s just something I have to do: Get out, spend a few hours in the white, cold.
The first skier I met a little boy six or seven years — on a trip all alone in the forest
Towards the horizon two skiers one little and one tall on the way further up in the direction of the unknown
Pale winter sun the forest plain dressed in white cold
Trees with frozen roots stretches up against the dim light from a gray sky
Returns casual and light style on narrow skis glides safely down the track
Stands alone left behind in the white cold universe
Thin twigs spread in all directions Failed through the year that passed
The hiker’s paradise, Malvikmarka.
