Theresa Kohlbeck Jakobsen

Burschikos

Spælir heldur úti
Ikki pent, ikki fitt
Hongur við dreingjunum
Er einsamøll
Heima frammanfyri telduna
Øll hesi nerdtingini
Burdi vera í einum kjóla
Dámar tað slett ikki
Ørkymlast mammuna

Tey kalla henni
Ein dreingjalig genta

Dreingjalig

Spielt lieber draußen
Nicht hübsch, nicht nett
Hängt mit den Jungs
Ist allein
Zu Hause vor dem Computer
All diese Nerd-Sachen
Sollte ein Kleid tragen
Mag das gar nicht
Verzweifelt die Mutter

Sie nennen sie
Ein burschikoses Mädchen

Boy-ish

Plays rather outside
Not neat, not nice
Hanging with the boys
Is alone
At home in front of the computer
All this nerd stuff
Should wear a dress
Doesn’t like it at all
Despairs the mother

They call her
A boyish girl

Theresa K. Jakobsen (they/them) is a German creative, who after spending
the pandemic on the remote Faroe Islands re-entered the colorful streets
of Berlin city. The special challenges of living in another country as a
chronically ill person were a propulsion to their creativity. Theresa
creates mixed media art, photography and writes multilingual pieces that
circle around the theme of identity and relationships in a digital age.
Their works recently got published in Coalition works and Day Job
Journal. They are forthcoming in Selenite Press and Indecent Magazine.
