Existing in name only

You'd disappear, fazed by

a country only you owned, I 

turned my back and put the 

kettle on, my kitchen window, 

backyard trees and the above,- 

Abundance of it all, unstirred with 

you below, home

Gone

I found the sketch of it

I found the sketch of it leafing through my old notebook. Brought back a memory I'd long discarded, so it was quite trying to make sense of it all again. Well worth it, though. Thanks again for your honest attention. Yours, Espen.

This is strong,

This is strong, the 'gone' with the mundane coffee cups the distorted face of a poem, good stuff Espen. You appeal to our imagination and deliver enough to set it going probably in quiet different directions to those intended but motivated ones. Jeg liker den surealistiske side til diktnene dine, unnskjyld feilene mine her je gkan ikke skrive godt norsk!!!! Yours Ann

Espen… there are some

Espen... there are some poets who write a few abstract words and somehow the words become concrete feelings of the reader. This is such a poem. ~A
