Ferreira reflects on her poetry thesis.

into one another.  Instead

my life is a work of fragments.

Strings connected by inevitable distances.

I am lost in the fury of transit,

writing my poems in a

dark room on paper I cannot see.

Memory bites the new tongue

and I dream of home on a used pillow.
