Hollow Woman by Valentina Cano
While the woman watched TV,
the room around her decided to leave.
To take itself away from someone
who chewed air,
who thought of nothing
but of the empty spaces between words.
The room could not stand another
minute of her breathing,
silent, strong, and tasting of the endless
cups of cheap tea cooling like bathwater in her stomach.
The room left
and the woman never noticed.
