Somewhere
in a somewhere

far from here

(her death now
only these ineffectual words
crying in a book)

a match
is struck

in a church
in Sofiya

and a candle is lit
making visible

the memory of her

and the lost child
follows the candle home

as the old ceremony
allows

charmed by the sound
of her name

and her father’s voice

... searching.
