Two years   s l i p p e d   b y.

And I was fluent in the language
of my oppressors.
But still e m p t y.
Still too quiet, too shy,

too many reports with:

"Harmony has potential but keeps to herself."

Suki was four now.
We were young girls with

two languages,

Her full name was
Aoissa Rahim
but she asked to be called Aoi.

Something to do with

painful memories.
