And I can gladly say:
The year that began
Didn’t end the same way!

I was invited back for the Baladk Festival run by a group of local artists with a...

Fluttering somewhere around and between
Emotional outbursts and almost serene
This year saw us holding our breaths for too long
Exhaling into black balloons
We keep stringing along
Making love to the shadows that make us feel strong
And secretly wondering
Where we went wrong
