Memory

Sarah Ahmad

There’s a room in my house
where I lost myself
My mother sews in that room,
humming to herself
As I pass by that room
the sweet sound fills my ears
She smiles and blows me a kiss,
looking at me from that room
A needle pricks her finger,
a drop of blood falls
She shouts my name
and I run as fast as I can
into the room where I lost myself.
