winter calls to us come lie down and be renewed rest for a season

“The ‘now what’ question is a continual challenge, not a static endpoint. It means to open up creativity, exploration, ongoing efforts from multiple places. To do all that, we have to keep reading, keep listening, keep reflecting, keep learning.”

Teo You Yenn, This is What Inequality Looks Like

when these things change

the moment i heard the news

my heart sank and never stopped sinking

the day had come

for you to leave this world 

i begged time to stand still

for a just little longer 

one more second

i cried

that’s all i need

but time

it stayed true to it’s word

the hands of the clock

on that pale hospital wall

continued to tick furiously 

because time waits for no one

the living 

nor the dead

Alvin Pang; what i want to share

This breathing, air bartered between us so you pull me to your bosom and I cannot refuse. So I taste you by being simply alive.

This longing, the pull of flesh over flesh to cover our bareness of soul.  The distance we endure. The seas we brave to reach each other.

Here is skin you may bruise with wanting or rage. And here are my hands, their cracks and fissures unfolding a life none of us can change.

These fingers, the things they have touched. Let one of these things be you. Let me return your name to the one who had most forgotten.
