Poem

Every woman we called out to: ‘Oh, tree,’

We climbed to where its fruits were

We swayed from the intoxication of its birds

Then we broke its branches

And we were broken.

O you who rains without being touched by a season

or that a year passes by you

O you who are the feast in every sunny song...

I have mastered the game!

The game of being torn like maps that only care about…

Capturing the anxieties of earthquakes.
