Untamed Region - Jenny Hval

I’m in a big house, having big dreams

The next time I wake up there’s blood on the bed

Didn’t know it was time yet

Or is it not mine?

I feel old in this hotel

As if surprised to find I still have it in me

And yet so young

Hollow

Unsure if from young or old

I dip my finger in it

Smells like warm winter

Then I feel the need to touch everything

Everything in this room

Like a dog I’m marking everything that belongs to no-one

Bringing it close to me, or life, or something

I have big dreams

And blood powers

My own art history

My combined failures
