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.

Dial-an-age

"You dialed wrong."

Mikhail was upset. Once wrinkled he now had a zit about to burst and a voice that kept breaking between bird-chirp and timpani.

He was distraught. Robin looked the same as ever. 22 and va-va-voom. He looked down where something ought to be rising. No va no voom. Robin just laughed.

"You should get ready. Off to school now."

Mikhail remembered his father's voice. Robin was...

Nah.

His father had died a couple years before Robin was born. That possibility ... made him shudder.

"You're not my daddy."

"Oh, but I want to be. As soon as you grow up, that is."

Mikhail felt his eyes water as Robin put his arms around him.

"It's okay Micky. I can wait. Or you could just redial and try again."

Robin's warmth made something stir. There was hope.

Ah... to be young again. Mikhail wanted to shed a few *cough* years along with wrinkles.
