Into the void We write Our hopes To be understood #poetry#immigration

A Soviet kid born in a country obsessed with everything “West” Tagging roofs of multistory projects at 12 Kick-flipping at 15 Making Untrue vids of Burial in 2006 Raving at clubs on 2cb at 16 Where are you now, experimental Lain? Your dreams, hopes, and wishes? Muted by comfort of relocations.

When you immigrate across the ocean, The privilege peels off like dead skin after unexpected sun exposure. A rather sad human right to witness family members getting old and dying suddenly becomes valuable like a treasure that’s too heavy to carry around on a wounded soul. #immigration#insight

A genetic code I am Is from across the ocean. The code is screaming: — I miss my tribe, My people; My past, My dreams, My childhood. And here I am - in Canada. The birds are singing, The Spring dissolves the Winter, A rootless body is planting seeds in soil The ancient ancestors appreciated.

The algorithmic clouds Are steering ships of beings Into the void of dreams Away from the land made of soil of dirt dust trees and dead dinosaurs. #experimental#immigrant#poetry

A chronic search For answer “why” A bullet launched To make me cry #poetry#neurodivergent

Just begin Again and again and again and again Until this word No longer carry a load #poetry#simplicity#immigrantlife

Occasionally, one long breath is enough
