Untitled #21

By: Florence Mwanza

As blank as a page

As clear as a dream

A city of darkness

Hidden in screams

No sun, no moon

No space, no room

Starless shallow nights

With a girl hidden from the light

I can’t hear

I can’t see

Just find me under an evertree

A city of rumors and darkness and theft

A girl unlike the city, unlike all the rest

Can I go away?

Home to another place?

Unlike this city of darkness and screams

And if you look closely- 

Maybe you’ll find me

                    love, 
                            flora
