«we’re losing him!» by Bogdan Dragos

Published by

on

he dozed off into the warm sun

with the shade at

his head

but not touching him

It was her hand that touched him

Caressed his curly hair

The girl from

the shade

The girl who whistled

those wholesome tunes

while holding a child in her arms

and breastfeeding

The girl he knew was not real

but no longer cared

As the light above him

was shaded by heads looking down on

his face

and as the whistling grew

into a single interminable note

he knew she will

soon be real

Everything will be
