in her torn heart  red wounds and crimson lake  the coloured pencils vermilion or cadmium  sketching raw dawns and half-baked sunsets  the mother suffocating the daughter  in the daughter she suffocates herself  with her longing she fans  a beetroot flame, the boiling legends  the house no longer  the house no longer  we touch the family fictions  in photo albums
