Tenderness by Lisa Zaran
All around me, the sky with its deep shade of dark. The stars.
The moon with its shrunken soul. Can I become what I want to become?
Neither wife or mother. I am noone and nobody is my lover.
I am afraid that when I go mad, my father will bow his downy head into his silver wings and weep.
My daughter, O my daughter.
