Twelve Portraits (in the clock tower of Hallgrímskirkja)

Right foot up, then left
or, left foot up, then right
either ways
both feet land
on the nine-inch high
observation step

Twist to the right
blah blah blah blah
twist to the left
blah blah blah blah
those names
are very hard to utter

Scouting
icing sugar mountains
telescoping
little candy houses
devour them
the arctic wind and all

Morning running sun
be more hiking shoes
boots and woolen sneakers
finding their way
busily engage in
making faces
