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.

Blackie lay dead.

"Must've used up all nine lives."

"With some help."

"Hey, it survived the last time I killed it."

"Well, then what..."

"...or who."

"That tomcat over there looks guilty."

"So does that dog."

"That old lady sure looks mean."

The raggedy tom hissed. Boris threw a stone.

The pit-bull growled. Alexandria growled back.

the old lady spat at them.

"Hey, aren't you rabid? Who let you out?"

The two brats laughed; then bored, they left.

Miss Cherry-Mae, Pretty-boy and Fluffy carefully approached.

Are they gone?

The cat meowed.

"Good job everyone, maybe this time they'll leave us alone."
