/ I Hear Someone Calling My Name in the Air
When did the music stop?
And when does the forgotten
hunger appear
and make us shudder?
How do our loved ones
in the days we don’t care
bear those terrible sufferings?
I hear someone calling my name in the air.
It’s my loved one,
someone I haven’t cared about for a long time
in a faraway place
calling my name.
They may not be able to continue surviving.
I’m not stirred,
not crying,
I open the fridge and pour a glass of ice water.
