Life, Forces


Words by Sibel Atalay (she/they)


Life forces, like

intuition and 

trying to find yourself.

When the room remains dark

does existence stop altogether?

Life forces 

us to move on.

But how do you do that when 

memories exist?

Cardboard box houses 

and nothing but dreams.

Only dreams.

And it's a feeling!

It’s all just a feeling                                           all of it.

Zip your jacket all the way up and 

embrace the wind.

Life forces instigate an arrival                               your arrival.

Initiation in the loosest of terms.

Do you wanna come to this thing with me?
