The girl knows what to show
and how much; she knows
that the Sun rises a little above
the waist band. The dusky walls
begin her village. Now she is
the centre. The fishing
no longer yields profits although
her father sails, whispers
to the water. This time he
does not return. She hardly
notices since her father had to
quit drinking. Her phone vibrates.
One of her fans have sent
a series of eggplant emojis.
