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.

Without light there are no shadows,
without pain no knowledge of joy

I hide underneath stairs until there's no glimmer of light. At twilight I can move about without my familiar. I prefer clouds. Snow storms are best. Stars just twinkle; but ... they don't know Shadow.

I was born with him. We're twins joined at the foot. We never talk.

My aunt always sings,

till all pain becomes one with joy
and all darkness merges with light

She was born with a shadow too. She doesn't seem to mind.

still each New Moon beams innocent
until shadows start to appear.
