Girl of imagery, of MacBook and Photoshop.
In a Skype conference with designers and
Project Managers across
Europe,
Smiling to me when I enter the room
Quietly; she's working. I was in Sweden
With the guys. Bragging. *She's good for
You,* they said, raising
Beer cans around the fire. *Woman
Accepted, dear brother!*
A little too drunk, I felt, to phone her from
The hill with reception. No need. She'd
Texted me: *Sverre, I am perfect for you;
As you are for me. I adore your energy
Around me. The thought of you
Dances around in my head
Like my last marble, playing pinball with
My insecurities and confidences,
Scoring, then dropping, being
Thrusted back out, making PINGS and
PONGS, and my knees weak. I love taking
Care of you, between all your cares taken of
Me. By Odin, I love you, my one true
Man.*
Woman, you turn down all other
Volumes, leaning back with eyes closed
When I read for you. Naming me poet,
But I see now; there's not a medium in
This world you cannot tame and utilize.
I've painted with you, now write with me.
You are a rock star superwoman.
All I can teach you, is that attitude.
