on the opposite side
of the town
the evening comes
i go uphill and down
till i see nothing at all
and nowhere
becomes path.
four little graves
without clues.
in my mind
i see their eyes
painted red
or blue,
together with smiles of
the ones that stayed
to bring flowers
or just to stare
into something that
could have been theirs.
five miles away long shadows
cover your thoughts
light floods through your skin
and morning begins.
i take few steps blindly
counting
scars on the sky,
loudly catching the air.
solace
comes with clear water
and her hands creased
in despair,
grieving after her daughter.
bent on a grass
leaving
sadness i don’t understand.
