Lisa Ray Instagram – I’ve been staring at a fallen photo in my bedroom. a week and I still haven’t picked it up and set it back where it stood before. I can see the right corner of the frame wedged behind the bureau like the ankle of a man buried in earthquake rubble. but there was no earthquake here in my bedroom. so how did it fall? and now fallen perhaps it should stay the way of all things that have come into the world before and fallen like armies and ideals, Communism and the American Empire. like my youth. there’s just something I suppose. a broken, plunging wish, in all the unpickable things. – Lisaraniray @protestpoet image @farrokhchothia
