In memory of Maria by Lara Reis

Poem

You took me to the beach.
Strolling free
in our long dress
and silly hats
with no address.

We were talking
about boys and sex.
I was fifteen, and you
were a walking dead.
You kept it secret so well,

that your cancer
was feeding
your self’s lungs

I didn’t know.
that day would be the last
we would eat bread,
seashells and cheap wine,
over the boiling yellow grains

On a random day
of summer ends
with the smell of salt
craved in your name.

Poet Bio

I’ll go on an adventure. Later, after a deep nap and a strong coffee, repeat. I will go on an adventure. Later.

All good stories always have a dragon. And for a childish reason, I like the mechanical beating of every word that goes out of tune in front of the pale screen that hides the present night a little inside my head.

My name is Lara, I was born in 1984 and I am writing about the worlds build up in my head and when I am too lazy to express myself in the wording I use my simple drawing skill.

To each one of you who has read and follow my stories, thank you.
