Our words are precise Our work is the translation of primordial senses and mind I’ve been altering my native words for others since I was a young girl who spoke too clearly too surely a girl who angered at performing invisibility just to escape harm. Now sometimes it’s hard to tell which languages I’m transmuting: the ones that carry wisdom and deserve all the energy I have to aid understanding or translations coughed up for those who only want me smaller than I am. Are these the invisibilities I yearn for slipping between the strings of time or the relentless erasures you demand?
with infinite love,
Shambhavi
