I Can Hear The Ocean In Your Mouth: A Case Study
Curated by Rebecca Lossin


Galapagos Islands, 10:02
This is where I woke up; pen in hand, drooling on a sheet more like shed
snake skins than any paper. There are zones, I have heard, delineated
amidst a battle against encroaching nature; borders and limits that go
beyond themselves. An excess of marks.

Tahiti, 14:43
This is where I woke up. My organs exposed to a staring crowd that
milled about like bad paintings. Apple breasted martyrs attend to my
sickly liver with briny rags. My ears fill with pre-historic ululations.

Borneo, 4:17
This is where I woke up. A shoe scraping along a floor covered in
rusted nails. Large black boot with leg ending at hip. An arm bent at
the elbow floats above my ear I hear the listless hand waving in the
wind like a flag. My cuticles are missing.

Djibouti, 21:26
This is where I woke up. The parking lot is damp and the wind coats my
face with water in limbo. A squirrel guards the entrance to the kitchen.
From inside the clanking of metal pots and stifled shouts. It
follows my movements. I dart back and forth. It scampers. My feet
grow large and heavy patent leather shoes anchoring me in the mist above
asphalt exploded by grass.
