For Those of Us #1 | Inspired Poem

In Nov 2023, I participated in an art and poetry workshop. One activity was to choose one of the poems that the facilitator brought and create a blackout poem from it. 

The poem I chose was A Litany for Survival by Audre Lorde. The following poem was inspired from her poem:

For those of us who live

Standing upon the constant edges of decision,

The passing dreams of choice,

Looking inward and outward at once,

Before and after.

Seeking a future.

For those of us with fear 

Learning this illusion of some safety 

To be found.
