Laila Neihoum - Libya







Tiggy sent this poem to me, which I liked to the most. The most is Tiggy in her best.
laila









I emerge
A white lie
A stained butterfly
Seeking only paper flowers,
Nectars awry.
Then my wings
Edges smoking
Tell me you’re close by.
Lodged as you are
Between the ribs,
Under the sigh
I beg:
Don’t make me flutter
I ask :
Don’t move please,
I .. still .. live.
