On a slide found on the street, a girl is posing for a photo on a balcony.
Her hair combed to a side part, held with a pin
A white muslin shirt, collar tight at her neck
White socks drawn up to bare knees
Black lacquered shoes
Large freckles - stains of time and moisture
a little smile
Beside her, a cactus.
I called her a "good girl"
And I took her on a liberation journey.
Tied in red
Good
Girl
Cocoon state
I built a doll in her image, my own size - an alter ego
Trapped between the lines
Flying girl, Gif, 2018
Pietà
I danced with her,
Talked with her,
Got wild with her,
Cried with her,
Flew with her,
Loved her,
Set her free.
