Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

Nothing quite like upsetting friends. Tried to make amends. Hopefully everything is okay now.

...moi...

It really is easy to instantaneously offend/harm people these days. Social media means that the damage can be done before the chance to un-say, un-do, un...

Even an innocent photo can be an issue. I know. I don't like having my picture out there. And certainly don't want it tagged.

I try not to remember why...

I keep a threatening letter from someone who invaded my home years ago just in case he should show up again. I desperately don't want him to know whether I'm alive or dead. He's probably in jail or more likely prison. Yeah... that type of person.

And there are "friends" who would drag up the past, the far past, ancient history... just because. I don't need my scabs pulled off wounds either.

These days, I live in a place where I treat people fairly well and expect that in return and I'm the same when I travel. I do make mistakes. Hopefully not the same ones.

So... I managed to upset a friend. I did what I could as soon as I found out. There shouldn't be a problem now. I can only hope.
