#covid19 Another poem about these moments. Mother Tongue on YouTube. Conclusion: Folklore values and dangers during a global pandemic are an ongoing conversation and field of study as we fight the horrifying situation playing out worldwide. Vir-US Band together with lifted voices to say our farewells & goodbyes No time To be shy or embarrassed Show affection Love be our protection We are alive...for now Somehow, that statement brings truth to bear As in places surviving the flu Cover your innocence in blue Like the scrubs they'll wear when they intubate you Resuscitate you Crowds gather and gasp as you fall A broken system Which punishes all Begs no more... We can't breathe for sure. We are dying. We are crying SURGING...100, 200, 300, Climbing The Chronicling Culture in Crisis series features individuals and their communities as they use their traditions and creativity to respond not only to the public health crisis but also economic uncertainty, structural racism, and climate change" Comments are closed.

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
