Across the Water (2021) A visual poem / video poetry
Premiered as part of Is It A Good Time? A group show of non-citizen artists that had been in the U.S. during the pandemic, shown on Mana Contemporarys website.
My home is always across the water
the water is a sea, sometimes a screen
regardless its always blue and endless
what I reach for is blurred by pixels or wet fog
_____
for many years I only say my mom through a screen
behind different blue icons
my own reflection has also become blurred
its sharpest in the borderless land between takeoff and landing
my home is always across the water
