unifying

since forever
you've had this blue and blowing dress
like harebells
made from the sky

you sense it
as a force field of rest
a blue and blowing meadow
fortifying your body

unifying
humanity
in a still place

you are
blue dots connecting

not losing yourself
but loosening your self

unifying
reconnecting the dots

reassembling yourself
in a blue and blowing dress
like the sky
made from harebells

see

you drop pretending
unpack your dolphin
slip it on your sleek self

sea rider
hurrying to the rescue
already

they used to laugh when
you fell through air
gasped on earth
sizzled in fire
now they'll sea for themselves

you zip your dolphin up
your sleek self
your two eyes visionary
your third for hearing SOS

hurrying to the rescue already
sea rider

they never understood you
but now they'll sea you
in the sun's glitter

favourite

you're searching for your health
finding it deep inside you
a tiny orange ball
stuck in a blind area

you catch it with your mind
setting it free to go bouncing
it blurs dissolves
into a big orange shawl

wrapping your body
in true music
from years ago

You come from ...

Poems starting with these words ('Du kommer fra ...') are special. They're inspired by the vibrant, multicultural crowd of girls using the library. The girls seem to be sort of designing their identities from an innovative blend of their family history and cultural roots - and their own lives as contemporary Danish school kids.
In a wider context, I feel that these poems are about the quintessential teen spirit.

night jeans

you come from night
a rich black scenic curtain
behind the lives
of even the poorest people

night
the rich black scenic myth
of your early life

day is reality in jeans
day is easy to know
isn't mythic
is just now

but night is part of
the start of
you before reality
a quality
you want to be part of

you love night
its rich black scenic curtain
you're shaping it into hearts
trimming with pearls black shiny

you're patchworking
on your day jeans
