My first ever blackout poem, published in Acta Victoriana back in January 2015. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
โ€œBut what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously...โ€ #juliecortazar
Strangely, today amidst my happiness I thought of you for a moment and felt a twinge of guilt that life flows on and I can gather in abundance even though I also hold you, my strange and lovely void. I am still trying to untangle the words I want to give you so be patient with me. In the meantime, since I am still a sojourner, may I love the things I love more fiercely because I knew you. May I laugh more carefree and protect more firmly with your uncertain smile and delighted laugh in my heart. I hear it is world suicide prevention day today so I am writing this for you, but every day, may I stand in the way of someone else and their despair, whatever that may look like. May I forgive myself more so I can hold the world like a peach bruised in my palms. May my words echo with the life of hope you lived while in my vicinity. I hear you still, singing your heart. May we sing together again some day; whole and full.

burden(some) // what burdens do you carry from your family, your cultural history, your lived experiences? - much love to @artstartsto for believing in this project that @ayebbey and i have been holding dearly in our hearts for awhile. - we hope to create more safe and welcoming spaces like these. where we can open ourselves to each other. where we can lend our ears to each other. - first photo by @jingdraws.
burden(some) // our stories and experiences became beautiful clay tiles which, together, became even beautiful art. - many people have commented on how everyoneโ€™s tiles are so unique despite all of us having shared the same spaces. but despite collaborating together to reimagine our burdens, we all hold unique stories and experiences. - first & last photo by @jingdraws. (seeing myself in jingโ€™s photos have been helping me feel okay with being on camera.)
