Mine 1

Inkara Maria

Grandmother, my special wish
You gave me so many gifts
you put candles on my way
Soon, you need your light
My lovely lady he will come
you will dance again
and dine
among the grapevines
Under the Mulberry tree
In the rain
He will make you smile

Mine 2

Pet, my precious
A picture of myself, me
Earthy child of the land
stay free
be in the light
hold mama’s hand

Pirlanta, my gold
my pearl
not just any girl
like an apple
off my tree
you are me
like my own reincarnation
almost one soul
do not be sad
I am your mom and dad
After the night comes day
please stay

Mine 3

Intravenous food for my blood
Black
Staining my veins dark blue
A necessity
A need

5 days pumped with pain
flesh
blood
and mind
only 5 days
for another 365

and

they hurt her
needles everywhere
the pain is in your eyes
your skin too sensitive to touch
your hands white as snow

drink a sip of water
some oxygen
not too much
need more
no no it hurts
help me
I want to sit up
No no I want to lie down
Put me up I cannot breathe
Let me down it hurts

Refraining in my brain
My mind
Beautiful beautiful girl
A rose gone to heaven
Leaving alone your loved
Leaving
leaving
leaving
No answers
Refraining in my ears
No information to last years
no name no face no tear
rocks screaming question marks
