Turn the egg over

Changsha

There is a list of names
outside my window.


In Changsha my name.
By noon the wall was
white again.


Nouns hang
from globes outside


my window. a list
of names outside
my window.


my name. the wall was
white again.


Nouns hang
from globes outside
my window.


the wall. a name
was white again.
