Excerpt from MY LOVE IS WATER

It’s us

Have some mercy
Have some love
For my mother, for my sisters
Don’t murder a child when they are young
What have we become, a group of heartless punks
it’s in me, the lineage runs through our blood, the inescapable
It’s us, it’s us with love
We came from the ocean; one day, we will go back to it
One day when my body cannot move, i will be with the earth, covered in soil, mycelium run through my veins, grassroots becomes my bones, and i will be you

月

月有阴晴圆缺，人生起起伏伏
每逢一轮新月，我都做起白日梦
每逢一轮满月，我都为活着的温度而感动
静静地踏入幔帐背后的世界
在这里，一片迷雾笼罩，可前路却一片光明；是内心呐喊，波及心弦

永远流淌的是河水
不属于这片土地的我们终将走向何方啊？

A reflection on women’s unseen labour

It’s not her job to make you love her
It’s not her job to treat you nicely
A woman’s work is to be herself completely
She is not your wife first of all
She is an individual with agency
She is an artist with her own experience of the world
And that, no one can take away from her

She is doubting the dogma
But never to god, never ever
God has the grace and ability to love every being they created
For that deep love, is unmatched by anything in this life…
