for the purr of an engine
for the whistle of a rocket
for the bark of a gun
for a bang on the door she hides her daughter
she does not ask her sons
where they go each night she scavenges under a curfew
she hides under a false name she mourns the dead
she knows the mourning
will never be done she hopes for a clean death Ama Bolton 4 March 2024. Image: Unwritten Page 15, botanical dyes on rag paper | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
