AN IMAGINED REALITY

BASED ON WORDS AND PHRASES FROM OUR INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITS

​

1

Enticed by the scent of a peeling creature,

Divine in its burrow of blurs, burying and blasphemy,

The dangers of the creature condemn me,

Bliss in the ever-present, permeating unknown.

 

You trickle like the blood of misogyny, seeping into my life,

Engraving your name on a bedpost,

Forever aching for a false reality,

Empowering us.

 

Our pleasure is not a commodity to be bought,

Marching through streets,

Walking through alleys,

Swimming through sorrow,

A woman free,

An imagined reality.

My destination is rich with history and curated memories,

Distant but ever forthcoming,

Always imagining and constructing false realities,

Yearning for more.

 

Growing and shifting, grappling at my heart,

A utopian body.

 

Singing the song of artistic treasures,

Dancing in the bask of the glory.

 

The corners of my lips twitch,

A hazy fleeting glimpse of my radiant mother,

Infinity in the dream of a better reality,

An imagined reality.

 

A while before I sleep, and sleep, I will, for a while.
