Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills. |
This House This dingy yellow house will blush blue tomorrow, another layer to hide the shame of paint that can't outlast the shingled frame: gold, green, red and green again, each a coat that once gleamed back at eager boys with brush in hand, now bearded, bent and not so bold. They've aged and still the house sags older by a century. Tomorrow grime will be removed, the flakes fresh scraped and primed. Tomorrow by this time, the house will gleam anew, jaundiced clapboards covered by a sea of blue. © 2007 Kåre Enga [164.440] 2007-12-27 ME I'm fine. Remembered to pay the rent! Got some pound cake. Couldn't mail stuff because it was over 13 ounces ... don't ask what my thoughts are about that! Lost this entry due to the insanity of the library's computer system ... not this time. Does anyone have a thought about a Samsung phone/computer versus an ASUS mini-laptop? A can get a new phone from Verizon with $100 off and am looking to get a small laptop for traveling. My Compaq is great! But ... I'd rather leave it safely at home than lug it all over America. Kansas: sunny and 50s. 1622 |
