Sisters’ act- Unmarked

Sister?
Yes?
Did you have a chance to see mum?
I couldn’t hear nothing. It was dark.
Did you see her?
I couldn’t see nothing. It was cold.
Did you feel her?
It was old skin, God’s hands. White angel said.
No, mum! Did you feel her?

Where are you, sister? I can feel your bones but not your breath!
Sister?
Yes?
Are we dead when we just were given birth?
We are sinners!
Mum was.
God’s hands said it before she brought emptiness to us.
I wanted to see mum.
She couldn’t say goodbye to us.
Goodbye sister.
Goodbye.

 

And in the name of God, they were swallowed before they could live.
