laundry - Part II

You had asked - Where does one begin?
We begin here. In medias res. In the middle.
In between. For that’s where we are.
In the present. which is also the past. And the future.
We begin together.
We begin thinking together.
We begin naming together.
We begin bearing witness together.
We begin honouring each other.
We begin sharing stories with one another,
Of one another, together.
We begin writing stories.
We begin restoring and re-storying together.
We begin at the pedestrian crossing. At home.
At the border. In this room.
We begin at the dimly lit liminal spaces
That hide the ghosts we are haunted by.
We begin, as Zembylas says, “having adventures and being in the impasse together, waiting for the other shoe to drop, and also, allowing for some healing and resting, waiting for it not to drop.”
