just a pencil and paper was enough I could float in mid-air

the charm of doing ordinary simple things as if they were secret

excitement of wiping the blackboard erase write erase write learn and forget

in history lessons-it was the horses I pitied most

the smell of smoke on the street soot and rust had a calming side

in geography class-there were traps and pleasant pathways

we watched as the world moved slowly

ıt turns out asters carried a world within themselves

we believed kindness would conquer

sometimes the wind brought gifts for those who were good from distant lands a shiny silver comb a small box filled with pearls and water-

his is a pair of scissors

behind the glass I wanted things that would hurt me-

no:1378

I was among those who failed without a makeup exam

we didn't know what we carried under our clothes

everything is measured and calculated

behind the large trees coming out visible is caught we would hide and they couldn't find us

it was very hot the hottest day of that summer the sky was cloudless no rain had fallen for a long time everything was dr

my mouth filled with sand

animals lost their way

summer never came winter never came spring never came birds never came

deer cut their hair at the skirts of the red mountain-

red tree

I thought normal sensible ordinary people would somehow prevent this-

I saw that small house collapsing

in a corner I waited quietly to heal

even though I left a part of me stayed there

broken flowered porcelain geometric blue

as a child one doesn’t know how much sadness awaits

then again I return to where I was

maybe these were things always happening everywhere

I am not as I was, I am as I was

tiny ant tiny ant slender waist slender waist said come to me slenderly said said said said

beautiful waters will wash me bitter herbs will heal me
