qarrtsiluni

by Zeny May Dy Recidoro

Sign says tiny grass is dreaming. Do not disturb.

To whom have you given your warm cloak?
Mother’s spirit whispers to me

A fallen flower crushed

Imprint of a warm hand on glass, fleeting,

My income solely depends on the angles of my face,
The curve and swell of my body.

Concrete and dead tree bone white as his skin,
Blinding light

The place I do not recognize
is where I make a home,
