Cruel Unspooling
To Meg Huggins’s Birth of the Sun
Birth begins
When Klotho spins
Fresh thread
From the newly dead.
See how she’s pulling
A cruel unspooling.
Souls’ Consent
To Yeonhee Ji’s ceramics
Sometimes our souls
Only consent
To containment
If the vessel has enough holes
To fully prevent
Detainment.
The Living Part
To Sean Madden and Nadia Mercer’s installation
The living part
Of making art
Is the challenge of trying
Even in dying.
