Marius Surleac
Florenta
my few hours old sister screams
far beyond in the pitch outside
these turn into whispers melted on the pane glass
and her cute little face turns back the moon
she writes to me about the unshapeable ghosts
that talk to her promising endless realms of
black & white & bliss & mourn & ∞s
my sister tells me she's facing the death
wearing yellowish gloves & scrubs
watches her imbibed look cooling down
and the scythe covers the tracks where
other deaths don't keep the change
