The god of stolen things


IT’S BIG ENOUGH 
TO  MAKE YOU FEEL SMALL
 WHEN YOUR MOTHER
CLOSES HER EYES AND 
QUIETLY WEEPS
BECAUSE SOME MEAN VILLAINS
BROKE INTO THE HOUSE
AND TOOK AWAY
HER LITTLE POSSESSIONS
KEPT IN THE TEMPLE
AT HOME.

SHE DOESN'T KEEP THEM
CLOSE FOR TOO LONG
AS THEY TOOK 
AWAY HER THINGS
AND NOT HER GOD.
HERE I JUST STITCH
THE WORDS OF DESPAIR
BECAUSE I THINK
I UNDERSTAND HER
SADNESS.

  2. it's unfortunate to have mean people. Be it anywhere, in any way.
