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

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.

In response to "M#2 rock 40w (4.mar.180) "Upon this rock""

Lyn's a sly fox: The Rock always remembers until even it is worn away by wind and water, reduced to grains of sand.

As a child I felt safe alone in my summer-garden or winter-closet. I would have envied Harry Potter's nook under the stairs.

I have good night-vision. I see the hundred shades of black and grey.

Fortunately, I live in a world of a thousand colors by day.

Will this castle bring her peace? you peace? me peace?

I miss the pitter=patter of little feet. Sometimes the loss overwhelms so much seek solitude in a place where darkness can only reside.

I wonder if you reside in the darkness too when I read your comments.

In response to ""No Gift From Santa This Year" D22 #17 40w 'poverty'"

Anni Pon Perhaps overdone on the references. Glad you picked up on 'venison'. 40 words makes it tight.

I was homeless years after I took in refugees. Folks did help me. Maybe that thought was lurking in the back of my mind. "Homeless" is a deadly label in so many ways. I left Kansas for Montana in 2008 because I wanted to start anew.

In response to ""No Gift From Santa This Year" D22 #17 40w 'poverty'"

I love this idea, and all the references and imagery. Especially the line: ‘Poverty was a red-nosed light-bulb flashing "homeless”…’ it’s really tragic to think of the jolly man who gives everyone gifts every year in such dire straits he has to eat his rain deer, and no one would help him….

Fun piece.

Called to mind The Beatles number.

In response to "Hidden places [13+] P#3"

Apondia Definite loss of habitat in Thailand. Elephants have a hard time as do 100 species of birds. Humans tend to not know what they have until it's all gone. Very anthrocentric.

I've read about the monkey problems in India and a couple other countries. I also read about loss of habitat as causes.

Wordsmitty ✍️ LOPBURI MONKEY BANQUET FESTIVAL... be there! End of November. They set a buffet in honor of the macaques that lure the tourists into town.

Maybe I should go this year?

Up at 11?

I can't get much done if I'm in bed all the time... alone.

ME:

Got up late. Went to bed before 1... so why so late?

1. I do sleep best in the morning.
2. The sun does not get up early in Western Montana.
a. We're at the western edge of the time zone.
b. We're at 47º north.
3. The mountains block the dawn.
4. Many mornings have been cloudy.
5. I don't fall asleep well at night.
a. Caffeine?
b. Sensitive skin. Even static makes me itch.

In Costa Rica I was up at 6. On my travels it depends on who else is getting up early and whether I have a plane/bus/boat/train to catch.

Maybe that's part of the problem. I have no fixed morning schedule.

If I were to install a 200 watt bulb that was on a timer? And had a mandatory 7 am class (I did have one of those in college... in Costa Rica!)... maybe, maybe I could get out of bed early.

Clutter/Cleaning Update:

I have lots of empty boxes. More each day. I sat and watched a program on VHS last night and went through papers. Slowly happening. I think it's like a Sudoku puzzle... slow at first and then it all comes together and it's over.

I'm still waiting for it to "all come together". It'll be over when it's over.
