MY SHAPES TAKE THE SPACE
I WANT TO FILL
BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW
LIKE AN OBJECT I PUT ON A SEAT
TO SIGNIFY
THAT IT’S OCCUPIED
AND THEN I LEAVE
SHAPES ARE
A SPACE
I SAVE FOR MYSELF
NOT TO FILL IT
BUT TO SHAPE IT WITH MY EMOTIONS
THE ONE THAT BLOCK MY HIPS
NARROW MY THROAT
BLOW MY BELLY
SHAPES ARE THE FRIENDS
I’M DRAWING FOR MYSELF
TO BE ON MY SIDE
WHEN I NEED THEM
IN FRONT OF MY WORK
IN FRONT OF MY FRIDGE
IN FRONT OF MY SCREEN
OR WHEN WORDS BREAK
THE COCONUT
INSIDE OF ME
SHAPES
ARE MADE IN MY HOME
THEY APPEAR AT THE END OF THE DAY
WHEN I’VE DONE TOO MUCH
TOO FAST
WITH NO RESPECT FOR MY JOINTS
FOR MY LOWER BACK
FOR MY PEACE OF MIND
SHAPES ARE GIVING SHAPE
TO THE THINGS
I CANNOT THINK AND EXPRESS
THE THINGS THAT CAN ONLY EMERGE
WHEN I’VE EXHAUSTED
THE DOMINANT IN ME
AND LET AN ENERGY AS SUBTLE AS
THE SCENT OF FENNEL
TAKE OVER WITH JOY
SHAPES SING
WITHOUT BREAKING THE SILENCE
THEY DON’T NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF
BECAUSE SHAPES DON’T EAT
DON’T NEED TO BE WASHED
DON’T NEED TO BE FED
DON’T NEED TO BE PUT IN BED
DON’T NEED DIAPERS
SHAPES DON’T HAVE HANDS TO WORK
THEY DON’T WASH DISHES
OR COOK
SHAPES ARE FLOATING
IN THE AIR
COMFORTABLE AND RELAXED
SHAPES ARE INVENTED
THEY ARE MADE OF THE LIQUID
OF MY BIGGEST TEARS
THE ONE I CAN SEE
DROPPING ON MY PAPER
AND THAT I CAN SHAPE WITH MY FINGER
A DESIGN WITH NO UTILITY
AN EMOTIONAL DESIGN
NOT AS A MARKETING TERM
BUT AS A WAY
TO MAKE SOMETHING OF THE
POPCORN
POPPING IN ME
SHAPES DO NOTHING
THEY OCCUPY SPACE
AND HAVE FUN
IN A SOFT
BUT ALSO DESPERATELY
AGGRESSIVE WAY
WHEN THEY HAVE DECIDED
TO BLOW ALL BOUNDARIES
SO THAT NO ONE
DIES ANYMORE
IN THE SEA
OR ALONE IN A HOSPITAL
BECAUSE TO MAKE ART
I NEED TO CARE
AND NOT TO CARE
TO CARE WELL
I CANNOT CARE TOO MUCH
ALL THE TIME
I ALSO NEED NOT TO CARE
SHAPES ARE GENTLE
THEY RESEMBLE CLOUDS
AND HAVE THE SMELL OF OLIVE OIL
SHAPES TAKE BREAKS
AND DANCE WITH THEIR BELLIES
THEY ARE MADE OF NOTHING
AND HAPPY TO BE HIDDEN
EMPTY IS NOT EMPTY
SILENCE IS NOT EMPTY
PASSIVE IS NOT NOTHING
NOT ACTING IS NOT NOT DOING
