by Khashayar Mohammadi
word came:
where are you?
smell of acacia
bushels of boxwood
word came:
where are you?
shoulder blades fringed
by the cast iron chauffage
word came:
where are you?
a bouquet of Narcissus
sold by street kids
word came:
where are you?
Dad’s first car
back seat
no seatbelt
word came:
how many days?
Just a few minutes
since childhood
word came:
who are you?
a single sugar cube
dissolving on the tongue
