In a bed that you fold down<\/span>
and once shared with your sister, we breathe<\/span>
 <\/span>
mothballs caught on the thin sounds<\/span>
of swimming pool cries and laughter<\/span>
adrift from the benches between blocs 7 and 9.<\/span>

In scar\u0103 A, apartament 5,<\/span>
your fingers cast nets across my skin<\/span>

for the boy you once breathed salt air with;<\/span>
the boy who died, wrapped<\/span>
in the petrol sliding from a torn car.<\/span>
