... It is not what you remember that is surprising it’s what you forget. . Only hours later a FB photo emerges, or a video. And the fine details . (already forgotten) seem to delight, then shock you. . Tiny nuances, the sound of shoes the shriek of an animal . or the ridiculousness of really poor young men . in bleached white polyester and 80 peso sunglasses . dropping the candles to awkwardly manoeuvre your coffin. … © 2017 Melinda J.

... THE ISLAND OF STARS to the top
we climbed in
the sunny shining
“ulihi ulihi gid kami”
they passed us by
going to the down
'we are so late
so very very
late!' ... © 2017 Melinda J.
