Alternate Reality / Parallel Dimension / Layers of Worlds

"Mother Earth." Art by Ruta Dumalakaite

I walk 
through the woods 
on Earth 
in the Milky Way Galaxy.
There's another me, 
walking toward me 
but we can't see each other.

Deaf Brown Gurl

This poem was originally called D.E.A.F (Deep Enigmatic Audist Force) and then revised and re-named Deaf Brown Gurl. I have performed this poem at Pride STL (2013), The Haberdashery Revue (2013), Subcontinental Drift (2014), amongst a few other places. This poem also appears in The Deaf Experience (2014), an anthology of deaf poetry, essays and stories, curated and edited by Michelle Jay.

blackness
stillness
nothing
in the air
world quiet
