(for a historic fortress on the West coast of Sweden)


1

Sieges treacheries insurrections plots
are on the menu of the snug restaurant


2

In the wall of the garrison church is a hole still to be seen
after a burst (a terrible burst of laughter)


3

Pomegranates in thousands are raining over concerts
and theatrical performances on the inner courtyard


4

Less known than the imprisoned con artist is the
Norwegian governor though a bigger thief


5

After 30 years' building the fortress stood ready
made in the shape of a bottom after a French model


6

If you visit the fortress town today you will experience
how the wooden houses are threatened by incendiary bombs


7

From March to October the castle is open to
the public as a hard labour prison
