A young girl walks home and places her bag in the drawer.<\/p>\n
She takes out her bottle of water,<\/p>\n
drawings of hands with words inside.<\/p>\n
She puts in the drawer the smell of her mother’s perfume,<\/p>\n
the smell she always tries to find.<\/p>\n
She puts down the sound of silence,<\/p>\n
no sound at all.<\/p>\n
She throws down other people’s problems,<\/p>\n
her anger,
\nbig, red,
\na square, with sharp corners,
\nshe can’t get away from it.<\/p>\n
She shuts the drawer<\/p>\n
and she locks the drawer.<\/p>\n
