Bel blo mi pen

Bel blo mi pen ( my stomach hurts)

My mother isnt there

 

Bel blo mi pen

only fathers, brothers, uncles, washing public

 

Bel blo mi pen

village pig is in my stomach

 

Bel blo mi pen

Ralarlar Village I am

 

Bel blo mi pen

I stumble to the cook haus (kitchen)

 

Bel blo mi pen

Bubu Tami and Bubu Peni ( grandmother Tami, grandfather Peni)

 

Bel blo mi pen

half a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of sugar

 

Bel blo mi pen

kerosine and flicker follow

 

Bel blo mi pen

forest and twilight, unfamiliar

Bel blo mi pen

heshen bag, dirt, hole, diarrhea

 

Bel blo mi pen

she whistles softly, kicking earth

 

Bel blo mi pen

The sound of you are not alone

 

Bel blo mi pen

never felt so at home

 

Bel blo mi pen

photo, me as baby and her sitting on the floor

 

Bel blo mi pen

never will another cushion

 

Bel blo mi pen

I wept at the airport after only 5 days

 

Bel blo mi pen

Years later when she passes

 

Bel blo mi pen

she visits me behind my eyes

 

Bel blo mi pen

another year passes, a disguise

 

Bel blo mi pen

Tami born in Melbourne niece, surprise

 

Bel blo mi pen

A moment living, never dies

 

A woman heard a small girls cries. Alone, without her own mothers eyes.
