Unknown
She didn’t birth me
Probably never held me
She calls my name
I can feel the warmth
The prickling on my skin
Her eyes are wide
A bit forgiving
Have to be quite
Don’t wake the sun
Too early makes trouble
Yet she forgave me
Walking on tile
Washing myself
She hates me
She loves me
She told stories
I remain on my knees
I am embarrassed
The ground is soft now
It is my friend
Every piece of gravel
every granulate
She loved me
