LONG LISTED FOR THE 2023 GRIFFIN POETRY AWARDS
The whole family waited, all prepared to welcome
Dorothea, this was the name of a far relative who everyone
forebode to find a queen’s fortune, however she run away
with a painter, marvelous technician but a drunkard
and the young woman died at childbirth.
However all this was insignificant: the truth was included
in that queen’s fortune, because after some years passed,
instead of a fortune, an innocent dead child arrived, who over
his closed eyes, someone had painted a pair of different eyes
of unequivocal beauty; therefore no one ever sensed this dead
child was the painter’s child.
