THE RECOLLECTIONS

The yellow trams.

The finger tracing a line across the wallpaper.

The canal builder Johannes Johansson.

Elly’s white dress.

Elvira’s white dress.


I played the same games as all the others.

I’ve been a worker all my life.

Lots of things have changed, but not for us.


It’s going to blow apart in one single blast.

And give them my regards.
