Hanne Hukkelberg Fourteen
Heart in mouth
Awkward rare
Wet behind the ear
Inside out
Outside’s gone
You’re two parts in one
It might be strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly
One is old
One is new
Both of them are you
One’s a bore,
The other’s cool
Sometimes you’re a fool
It might be strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly
When I put them
Beside each other
I see several persons.
When you put them
Upon each other
You’ll find yourself
You’ll become one
One, one
One is good
One is bad
This only makes you sad
Outside stinks
Dries and shrinks
What’s underneath is pink
Your mother say short and curt
Bursting buds do hurt
It would be strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly
