Would You Come Back?

Nadia Tueni

Would you come back if I said the earth
was at the tip of my fingers
like a charred branch already cooled?
birds often die deep in your blond hair
they adopt the sea as a vice
because of its sonorous seaweed
and runaways coming undone
too late to be born each second
on their knees before the faces whose every color
is a holy wafer
like a throat seized by cattle who devour a sunray
would you come back if I said the earth
was at the tip of my fingers?

    Really felt the melancholy in "Would You Come Back?" Esp the line "birds often die deep in your blond hair", hit me hard 😥 Beautiful imagery throughout. Definitely worth re-reading! 💔👌
