Pristina, 11pm

The city has stopped performing.

The cafés are still lit
but the conversations have slowed —
people leaning back
into their own private distances.

I didn't know Kosovo had this:
a particular quality of dark
that makes you honest
with yourself.

Here, at 11pm,
I am finally the right size.
