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.

In response to "I shan't be someone else..."

kindness is in I just posted a comment in your blog then randomly opened this and there you were! 2014... was just yesterday?

I wrote that I was on page 3392 of my journal ... I'm on page 5451 now.

Little successes... still apply!

Also... I'm still scattered.

In response to "The Fox and the Authoress (flash ~280 wc)"

Found you! I don't take enough time to poke through people's blogs... I'm glad to read this. I loved those stories when I was little.

Thank you, S🤦‍♂️

I edited this and made it into a separate item. "The Black Brick"

Like the old saying: if these walls could speak...

Liked this. Minimal anthropomorphisation despite an inanimate object being the PoV 'character.'

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

Witchy Woman: 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 Pumpkin 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….

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.

Micro 100 #20 "Howl and Yowl" [20]

We were trapped.

I howled as she yowled.

To no avail.

I saw young boys pass and wagged my tail. They didn't look my way.

I jumped to touch a button to make it move.

She tried to squeeze between iron bars of that elevator shaft.

We felt the cold draft of open doors below.

I curled up in one corner as night fell upon us. She glared at me as she curled up in the other.

By morning we were curled up together.

It was a cold night but a bright morning.

We howled and yowled at first light.

Micro 100 #19 "Drama Class" [179.14]

While Porn and Noinae argue over each other's boyfriend, Korn and Mek are caught stealing a kiss in the restroom... or some such silliness!

I need to follow the script?

Yes.

Me too?

Yes.

At least I get to steal a kiss!

You wish.

It's in the script.

...

Okay. Let's start from the top.

...

I think Korn is cute. Better take care of him.

Or?

I will.

Really? You wish!

Cut it out Mek. That's not in the script.

Is this?

...

OMG... are they?

Kissing?

Yep.

Okay, you-two. Time to come up for air.

Doesn't look like they're listening...

Nope.
