Kiara Amartya Mohamad

( ) in the Mountain

I recalled that sober afternoon vividly.









That day, we were lying on the bed,

you were sound asleep.





When I was young, my family visited my grandparents in the weekends.




Every afternoon, the adults would nap,

but I would just lay on the bed solemnly.











A cool wind would keep me company,



and on that day,
the same wind returned,


as I lay on the bed,


watching you sleep.
