Day and Night


Day and Night

L.I. Make interesting word choices using a thesaurus.

In the day the children are away at school, while their mother cleans the house with the thundering vacuum cleaner.

In the night the children play cards while their mother stops the toddlers from screaming and crying.

A girl's head




In it there is a future
and a  project
to do away with algebra.

And there is
the past that
should be first.

And there is
an entirely new bed
an entirely new room
an entirely new house.

There is a waterfall
that splashes upwards.

There is an aeroplane.

There is an antiquity

and it cannot be held back

I believe
that only what cannot be held
back is Mahdia’s head.

There is much promise
in the circumstance
so that many people have heads.

Mahdia
