flea market —

in the amber stone

another autumn

Ana Drobot, Romania

A flea market implies items of little value, but amber, for many women at least, is prized. That first insect name gently led me to imagine an insect trapped in the amber. A nice colour comparison between amber and autumn, and good word choices with all the repeating ‘m’ sounds. Echoes of Shiki’s „for me going /for you staying... /two autumns„.
