Reborn

i.
And here,
through glass panes,
platters of silver
trimmed clouds
on tails of the westerlies
spin like salsa dancers,
sashaying their hips,
nimble flute arms swaying
alongside supple swan bodies,
stretching, linking and looping
to the beats of the soft winds.

ii.
And there,
come the howling westerlies,
the ebony clouds overriding
the cotton ivories
swallowing their music
and stringing them into patterns:
two swans pulled apart
disjoining their union.
Now a hare, now a bear.
Now, a ship
floating over oceans
ferrying a granary of memories.

iii.
And here
a uterus comes alive,
soft and tender,
having set sail from its harbor.

² This Twin Cinema poem is inspired by the pride week celebrations that I witnessed in Copenhagen earlier this summer.It can be read in three ways as three individual poems.. Left Column, vertically top to bottom, right column vertically, top to bottom and then both columns together horizontally left to right.

³ Pride month/week is held worldwide every year to commemorate the June 1969 Stonewall riots that took place in New York. That year turned out to be a pivotal year for LGBTQ movements. A year later, the first pride parade was organised to mark the first anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. It has since gathered momentum and today most people across the world see it as an expression of freedom for their bodies.
