Staring Elf
Blue night across the sky
Blue night over me
Disappeared out my window
With hands
Folded under cheek
Thinking about my day
Today and yesterday
I dress in the blue pajamas
Straight into bed
Spread the soft covers
Close my eyes
I hide my head under covers
A little elf stares at me
Runs towards me, but doesn't move
From its place - itself
Staring elf
I open my eyes
Wipe the crusts out
Stretch and check (whether I haven't)
Come back and everything is alright
Still something is missing
Like all the walls
(A little elf stares at me)
(Runs towards me)
From its place - itself
I am...

Update: 'horfinn' is indeed the past participle of hverfa. I looked it up again. No idea why it's hyphenated? Anyway, I put it back the way I had it before, meaning disappeared. Sorry for any inconveniences.

It's actually horfa inn, he's looking out from his own window :) hence the hyphen. It also makes much more sense that way

Where did you learn Icelandic?
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
