Norway – Karen

Karen in snow 1975Karen is still with me

Once in a while I think I see her walking down the street

A tall white blonde woman

There must be others with her hair color but I don’t see them

Yesterday I had the feeling of her body walking  down the lane

I see her daughter who is also my daughter often enough

I don’t think of Karen the way I would if she was alive

Maybe I think of her more now.

I wasn’t actively thinking of her in Norway

She was just there in the pale blue shadows

In the cucumber sandwiches

In the northern lights
