As home became nature

Your departure left seeds, 

sunflowers grew and perhaps  

my eyes longed for you deeply  

that rivers appeared before them. 


In the kitchen I noticed that 

until today I still make cilantro with rice. 

Until today I still watch over the time. 

Until today I still wear the same perfume. 


Expecting that my scent could reach you,  

but my scent isn't sound underwater. 

And today I will wash my dishes.

And the rivers will water the sunflowers. 

 
As home became nature...

Longing for the sun. 

Longing home.

Was the fact you are gone.
