Since the day eternity

Inhaled my heart, sliced

Lastly by my father’s prayers of understanding God’s silence,

Even the guttural vibration of

Nothing gives me pain

Calling out to my long-lost family, a magician who lost a quarter behind my

Ear, everything fills my silence with spaces of bleak, they are so loud.
