What happens to our bodies in isolation?
This poem and video were created as part of an exquisite corpse experience as a follow-up to a Maysles Documentary Center (New York) seminar led by filmmaker Lynne Sachs and poet Paolo Javier.
Montevideo, June 2020

Text of poem:

My body is gone
Mirrors empty
I am not here
I want to fly
away from this carcass

The other
who shaped my borders
into existence
my shelleyesque creator
is fallen
into an invisible hole
and dragging me along

Alone
unbodied void
