dance with me in my dreams your hands are slipping through mine an illusion of you who i loved and still, i love you so stay by me in this faux and ideal world learn to accept the unearthly we can conquer reality together and make this one ours i'll pretend i haven't forgotten your face your name, your eyes, because how could i in this city i built just for us the memory of you holds it together and if i come to accept this fact that you're gone, and i cling to a ghost of you this city will come crashing down and myself alongside it.

looking at the past few months or maybe a few years at least i think ive learnt a lot or nothing at all the clock goes back to zero at the end of the day so do you and so do i we're all in cycles and im tired i want to sleep for a week or maybe forever to get away for a little while to make up for a lifetime and soulmates are never true its an idea i made to keep us together and even if we're meant to be well, thats not real is it?

i want to be held like a child held close in my mothers embrace to let my tears fall freely soaking the shoulder of her nightshirt i want to sit under the stars letting the moonlight illuminate my way without fear of danger without my troubles and woes weighing on me i want to be a bird i want to be free and fly away to sing my songs for all to hear to sing freely without judgement i want to cry without being asked if im okay i want to be understood or simply accepted as i am as someone who is imperfect

you keep chasing past memories stuck to them like glue
stuck,
stuck,
stuck,
while time moves on without you.

i want the rain to wash away my thoughts
and i want the stars to fill their place.

Ala Ebtekar, Thirty-Six Views of the Moon (from the San Jose Museum of Art)
Cyanotype prints on found book pages exposed to moonlight.
Thirty-six Views of the Moon is a collection of night exposures, left from dusk till dawn and exposed by moonlight on book pages from texts referencing the moon and night sky spanning the last ten centuries. Working with photographic negatives of the Moon from the Lick Observatory archives in Northern California and treating each book page with Potassium ferricyanide and Ammonium ferric citrate (cyanotype) to make the surface of the page light-sensitive, the pages are then exposed overnight by the UV-light emitted by the moon. The work takes its cue from a poem by Omar Khayyam that imagines us as the objects of the Moon’s omnipresent gaze and, in response, produces a vignette of windows on the Moon that abstract the typical celestial gaze, merging galaxy with ground to collapse space and time.

my orbit changes to revolve around you you are my life, my love, my everything i lose sight of what once was i lose sight of my life you drew me in so sweetly without a single word said i came to you so willingly you are not dangerous to me only i am at fault for letting myself fall.

i wish for my memory to be buried in your heart, for it is the warmest place i could hope to be when in the cold embrace of death
