Arriving in Bergen
only a small backpack
hanging on the shoulder
my only company
after the bus left
and I stood inside
the circle of mountain
too busy making love
with the ocean below
the first yawn of the sun
his eyes had just opened
to the shriek of seagulls
aiming for crumbs on earth
the treat my heart longed for
but no cafe had been opened yet
yr last line suggests, Chrys, that cafes have not yet been built in Bergen... from experience I can confirm this is not the case ... thankfully

for companionship

the circle of mountains
the sea was their company
first stretch of the sun
showed the seagulls crumb hunting
a hint I would have taken
but no cafe had opened yet
