light

to the island

all the softness a rock dreams of being

So yes, I will gladly take on your ocean
just to swim beneath you
so I can kiss the bends of your knees
in appreciation for the work they do
keeping your head above water.
- Mike McGee

the assertion of my life

sisters sleeping, morning, June 2010.

I write: I write because we lived together, because I was one amongst them, a shadow amongst their shadows, a body close to their bodies. I write because they left in me their indelible mark, whose trace is writing. Their memory is dead in writing; writing is the memory of their death and the assertion of my life.

-George Perec, W, or the Memory of Childhood via teaching literacy

don't worry i'll catch you

Contradict yourself. In order to live, you must remain broken up.
