Soorebased

Swampfoxes

There are some slings stuck in horse rakes†

There are some slings stuck in horse rakes on the road and still (there)*

Go around, swampfoxes

Go around, swampfoxes on the road and still (there)*

Breathing got stuck, swampfoxes, in a circle of spirits as a swampfox

There is swamp around, we are lying×

There is swamp around, we are lying× in the water and us**

There is a swampfox around

There is a swampfox around doing [sth] and us ***

(Our) breathings are stuck in the swampfox(´s) circle of spirits as a swampfox☥

Breathing got stuck in the swampfox´s spirit-circle as a swampfox

(My) spirit walks around, swampfox(´s) spirit walks around as a swampfox☥

†. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS1ZO6uXKYlgYc9jV79... = looreha; horse rake, etymologically similar alternative would be "hobureha"; hobu(ne) = horse
*. a. b. instead of 'still (there)' there could be the meaning of "There are more of those".
×. a. b. of lie, lay, lain
**. probably, "we are around"
***. probably, "and then there is us"
☥. a. b. There is ambiguity emerging from the case (essiiv) where na-ending is usually dropped for all the words in that case except the last one, leaving the other words "genitive". Thus the first "soorebane" could also mean "as a swampfox". Even 'breathings' could be spirits owned by a swampfox.

Author's comments:

THE beauty definitely isn´t in the meaning, it´s surrealistic.
One day my cute brother got home from the mall, singing "Ümberringi sooräbalad" = "Threre are swamptatters around"
It´s surr.
(Or not even `breathing got stuck` => my spirit got stuck)
