Maria

by Daniela Stephanou

the mind,
with a sink
all soaked
in water color
landscapes

washes,
the familiar
faces
blending now
bouquets of
lost gazes, 

drains,
the cliffs 
of words
that are
now fading
scribbles,

dries,
the time
in the field
by the river
with a lost
bouquet
and spoken
scribbles,

the mind 
that
cleans the dirty
porcelain twice,
and hangs the 
plates on the walls

remembers
that-
