the last note a mosquito song exhaling from its saxophone hive.
7 years ago
what happened
what is happening
101 years around and even granny dies
and upsi hears her exhale across the ocean granny’s breath reaches upsi’s ear
7 years ago how did upsi know it was 7 years ago she was drawing a dancer’s body falling didn’t realize she was learning with her eyes and her hand holding twigs of charcoal she was learning with her tools a dance that was sleeping inside of her coiled and waiting to be felt
granny died and there is even another sunrise to bleach the sky to eat the full moon that pulled life from her body
and upsi makes it alive to the waning side of this cycle
learns to change consciously learns to live soberly
learns to feel
ever more ways more places of pain in her body-mind
learns to choose gratitude for
this chance to experience
7 years ago a song was written today was played that mosquito squeak pushed from three sets of lungs is this not immortality?
