Fade like her

Ani Shahverdyan 1989 (Yerevan)



my mother is the extinguished version of me
yet in her ashes i can see the fires she used to make
that still burn in others` memories
and i wonder how i didn’t realize all these years
that we flame very much the same
yet i hope
i foolishly hope i won`t fade like her
