"Alhambra - Doorway to Paradise" by Suanne Kim
Kitchen Reacher Morning
she sleeps the same though not
in the same house less your
voice we speak the same but
manless more the body
she learns without sight of
kitchen reacher eggless
she wakes the same but not
in the place do you wake
we open the same door more
female masculine-less father
less my daughter knows will
not know a home she learns
separate from you she learns
she sleeps the same though not
in the same house less your
voice we speak the same but
manless more the body
she learns without sight of
kitchen reacher eggless
she wakes the same but not
in the place do you wake
we open the same door more
female masculine-less father
less my daughter knows will
not know a home she learns
separate from you she learns
