To the girl who ate Suicide

I saw water in your eyes

     First ,

It was the way your body became a Cathedral

 drowning in broken dreams

& your shadow becoming a sieve of memories

But

Your are made of water – you sing fire

& your body is an empire of burnt dreams

Like the relics of my father’s corpses

Knocking on heavens door.
