My doppelgänger
My doppelgänger is a sought-after dream darner. All day long she mends holed dreams. To close the small holes, she uses her diamond needle and a special thread woven of whispering grasses.
If the holes in the dreams are bigger, she fills them in with a paste made from strawberry jam and pretzel crumbs. She mostly wears pink, drinks her coffee with honey and speaks often of her grandmother’s renowned apple sauce.
Réka Nyitrai is a spell, a sparrow, a lioness's tongue — a bird nest in a pool of dusk. She is the recipient of a Touchstone Distinguished Books Award for 2020 for her debut haiku volume While Dreaming Your Dreams (Valencia Spain: Mono Ya Mono Books, 2020).
