“Sketching a picture of her.
48 colors I could make her
Orange, blue, pink, red, brown the color of her skin.
Finally, I am done.”
Sketching a picture of her.
48 colors I could make her
Orange, blue, pink, red, brown the color of her skin.
Finally, I am done.
I press my right hand on it and hold my left hand in the air looking
for a shadow
Then it comes.
A short girl who in my world would be about 10.
She jumps into me then I get a feeling that washes right through me
and then she’s alive.
She runs down the block and out of sight.
