Xanthe’s Reviews > Call Us What We Carry > Status Update

There are some of us who, when experiencing a tragedy or comedy in our lives, we think: ‘how will this be told to another? Can it be told? How can we possibly begin the story of what has happened to us?’

Hope is the soft bird
We send across the sea
To see if this earth is still home.

Tell us what is more powerful than the unerased.

The glorious was not made to be piecemeal.

Anxiety is a living body
Poised beside us like a shadow.
It is the last creature standing,,
The only beast who loves us
Enough to stay.
