A True Meeting - Poetry
You know me as a Dane in Spain - but my real name is Dorte Holm Jensen.
I have been writing poetry in my mother tongue, which is Danish, since I was 12 years old. I even published a collection of poems years back...but now finally - I am coming out of the "Poetry-Closet" in English.
A True Meeting
As see-through
as newly polished glass
is your well-arranged facade
failing to hide your unspoken cry
for acceptance
As loud
as raindrops on a tin roof
is the sound of frozen tears
rattling against each other
in your silence
As sharp
as needles through your skin
is the awareness
that I am equally
transparent to you
