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.

My resolution: give up being perfect as there was never a past—present—future that was perfect.

I loafed.

I lied.

Spent all my money on a lottery ticket—

And won!

I swear, goodness had nothing to do with it.1
