Lacqueredcurls’ prose poem captures an evocative landscape steeped in sorrow and survival. Through Sana’s journey, we witness Imi-Gur’s transformation from a vibrant world to a realm marked by violence and loss. The imagery here, of Sana as both a witness and a survivor, is haunting her memories of the conquered city are intertwined with her identity, her scars a living history of the fallen.

This piece is a powerful meditation on resilience and the ache of memory in the face of destruction. If prose like this resonates with you, my profile holds more reflections on endurance, memory, and the legacy of the places we hold dear.
