Photo/Poem 1 Minute 
 
  She said
 she was walking
 to town
 to buy
 some tomatoes,
 and never came back.
 
 She could
 imitate
 different animals,

 loved all
 kinds of
 weather.
 
 She knew perfumes,
 could rewire
 appliances,
 curse in
 several languages.
 
 She said
 I love you
 every night
 before falling
 asleep.
 
 The day that
 she vanished
 she took nothing, 
 except
 my heart.
