transcription:
 
shake what is
close close
to shed gravity 
is forgiveness
to breathe the ground
land          +
hurl like a voice would
space pulls me
when i jump i am 
so close to being
the floor the
floor the air 
across the room 


artist’s statement: this poem was written as part of an embodied poetics workshop facilitated by Bára Hladík and Malek Robbana.
