Still Life
Growing up With Death
A Visual Memoir
Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.
existing or functioning as though broken into separate parts; disorganized; disunified:

grief and longing...my two best friends.
always present
my childhood ended before it began.
my story always starts after.
her death created me
I mourn the possibility of us.
my past is constantly catching up to my present and trying to push its way into my future.
a shadow as placeholder.... still waiting.
