Description
The Pattern of Absence.Dead children never leave their homes, they hang around there,
get tangled in their mother's dresses,
while she prepares the food and hears the water boiling,
as if studying steam and time.
Dead children don't go away.
They stay at home,
and they have a distinct preference for playing in the closed corridor,
and every day they grow in our hearts,
so much so that the pain under our ribs is no longer from deprivation but from increase.
(a poem inspired from John Ritsos)
