Picture
heads


​As she leans herself on him, he remembers
how her hair used to be long
during the years they lived in the city.

​He has a photograph of her jumping from a wall.

Later that same day, they talked. He passed his hand through her hair
and meant to say he wanted to be free to be wrong.



This poem is taken from the light user scheme.
