Into the Hush
By Esther Kamkar
"Always," he says, as the skies begin
to turn blue through the glass door
leading to the terrace, “my father told us
wherever you are is called here,
and you must treat it as a powerful
stranger."
I am watching
the tanned children
playing by the shore today.
Everything is anchored.
Everything is vanishing.
And tomorrow will be colder.
