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.
