i see my sister
rolling on snow
to put the fire out.
i see the snow melt
at her touch
on her tongue.
she runs
to the snow-man
we made together.
i see her
burying her face
in his chest.
i see my father
petrol can
in his hand
looking at her
mouthing
she’d dishonoured him.
bring me the night
tell the snow
to stay in the sky
its lights
burn
my eyes.
