“when the memory is not the same and hands are not the same”
By Aigerim Tazhi
when the memory is not the same and hands are not the same
when an animal wakes up in your belly
a light bulb goes dim in your head
a voice
born in the cavity
of one who might grow out of you
something was really unlucky
asks
what day is it?
