Your eyesthe furthest ignored city in our nearest geographyas if never visited but never abandoned, tough
In my mind, no wrinkles cover your faceas we travel the gravel roads of motherhood when you raised me from child This white color is not the color of your hair but my footprint on your cheek
Yes. I know memories sting Your voice—a silent songof the nearest geography but my name is notin your singing
speakingforgotten for a while gesture of your eyesstill remembered
My childhood dissolves behind the gravel roads of your face but I can still hear you in your deep silence
