fourlets

language
language is a small child
all day you carry her around
peer into her blue eyes
at night she wakes up screaming

august
it’s August and the
snow has just melted
last year is
sighs away

country
I want to find a word
for country that doesn’t
mean society
to find a word for you, without me

new york/ oslo
I was found in a dark bar on
the west side of some east coast city
this way, I said
I’m closer to my heart
