intervals

a symphony of

ruby gemstones

porcupine needles

and salty tears

collecting

moments in the sunroom

maps of her city

memories from our past lives

when we arrive at the rooftop garden, it becomes clear:

sundials that hint at origin, patterns that retrieve beautiful memories of home

the joy of being seen quickly advances to the pain of overexposure

shadow work to undo the amnesia, recollecting on forgotten stories
