“As a pearl in the Indian Ocean” (2018) – Chapbook – Gloria Mannazzu – 10/16

PARALLEL WAVES 

I will not dream of
parallel waves
that will never
reach the shore.

I will not wish of
possible worlds
where my desires
have become true.

I cannot avoid
the delusions of time
we beam
who we are.

I face
fears that are
only mine.
