Dear human
There are more than one hundred words for snow in Sami languages.
One is translated as an eye drop because snow drops can become the eyes of animals. They draw footprints on snowy maps. It tells them where they have been.
Midnight sun has sunken low. He is unafraid of any dark. Where nature taught him how to gesticulate,. He has spoken Fox and Bear. Known as the Moose whisperer.

Pick Me Up
I’ve been down lately
sorry I haven’t been
around lately
checked out mentally
letting shit get to me
feeling like
everything is out, to get to me
pick me up
cos i’m falling
pick me up
and i’m sorry to keep calling
to unload my shit on you
but know that
you can do the same to me too
i’ll be there
pick me up
because right now
i’m at my lowest
and i’m hoping that
no one will notice
but from the mud
i will grow
like the lotus
from the pain
i will rise from the ashes...

Attempting to journal again for the first time in so very many years…
It just all starts to crumble when my daughter’s fiance comes home from work in the afternoons. They will go into their bedroom to be alone together for the rest of the night, which is clearly understandable and something I want to be able to give them without annoyance or interruption or being a burden…
But then, I am alone.
I have my interests to keep me busy… But I am mentally ill, and when left alone, my thoughts can travel to dark places.
I am 50 now. Still struggling with...

Am I emptier
Am I emptier
Do I feel less now
Should I have had less experiences
Less boyfriends
Am I emptier
Do I feel less now?
Do I have to know how the story goes to keep on living this life.

Being
I am the biggest loser in the city
My parents reserved exclusively that fate for me.
Humans are afraid of death
But never think of the scariest place of all
Shame from another fellow being
When you are just being.

My God
I write openly that I do not like God
He just knows how to piss you off
Every day
I have even written a complaint letter
That of course he just doesn't read
But yeah there is something he has made justice
He throws beauty everywhere
And you just can not catch it.

A psycho
Since I got fed up with being fired all the time
I said to myself
Here it is I will find a rich guy
He will always bring a fish in my mouth
And I would be a content bird
Birds do it all the the time
But then a tricky thought in my head
That just knows to make its way in my head
Wait, take it easy
I got you girl
Here it is you will just find a psycho
And bum
Right there
A psycho
Standing there all his way in front of me
He ruined my plans
No remorse I said
Birds do it all the the time
Some relief...

I like him
I call Darsi
But he doesn't answer
I'd like to tell him I like the tip of his fluffy dick in my mouth
I thought about it all day today
But he just doesn't answer
Yeah
But he doesn't answer
I'd like to tell him I like the tip of his fluffy dick in my mouth

Albatross
Today I am an albatross that has flown on the ocean for the rest of its life
I have gone sour
I do not know how to walk on earth
I have no legs any more.

He
He was so handsome
And I felt powerless
Like he had taken out barriers from me
A fibrilation in my heart
He could ask anything from me
Anything.

Similar
I felt similar with my cousins
My mother
My friends
Stuck with things that did not belong.
