#whitewashing
A foreign fire. Boiling the skin on. Aching arms. Heaving, hollow. Stones dissolve. The life jacket the only identity. The anonymity of a despairing face. Water-logged clothes on invisible bodies. Babies abandoned by the big blue woman. The commuting pages in the brains of commuting bodies. Bleaching the facts. White. Washing it all away.
