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 God's Waiting Room we're attentive to each other; so, Willie invited us to join her for lunch.

As a nurse she was used to serving others. The Swedish meatballs were soft, small, and brown with a creamy (but deadly) mushroom sauce.

Sedated, Laxmi (our token vegan) nodded off first, then Kathi. I drank coffee to stay awake whilst Phil (a slow eater) seemed drowsy. Willie plopped meatballs.

When Willie served cherry pie, Slow-Phil immediately dropped dead. Cyanide acts fast.

Wille just laughed and then started to choke on a meatball.

Too bad no one's left to help, I croaked.
