Decades ago I began my journey to explore the mysterious processes by which generations pass on their ‘ghosts and angels’.
The mystery remains, as I seek words to explain what I see. We all experience what we see in our different ways…
Do you see
suffocated by our family legacy
I borrowed your breath
until I could no longer breathe
I abandoned your breath
in search of my own
in exile I found my will to breathe
now with breath
I returned to reclaim my legacy
we willed each other
come dive with me
I’ll be your dive buddy
deeper
we tested sanity’s contours
breaking tunnel-vision’s edges
distressed, once more
we willed each other
deeper
once vanished objects reappeared
kaddish for your sister, Reizele
I said hello to Gyuri
beyond the visible
do you see what I see
apperception’s love child
creativity
