Poem by Désirée Jung

To Whom It May Concern


When you name 

something

it becomes 

a family of poems

feelings an angel 

would have liked

to experience

if it had a body

accosted by the sun

watching the clouds

in and out 

the dives of the araras

wet and blue wings 

mavericks of strings 

dissipating songs 

beauty on skin 

expressing

my fountain of touch.

Désirée Jung

My name is Désirée Jung and my intention here is to immerse into words. Writing my biography is a bit like witnessing the spectrum of my own gaze – an impossible task, due to its volatile and vulnerable contingency. For that reason, I let the poems speak for myself. I can add that I’m a Brazilian-Canadian artist, lover of beauty and everything (but not-all) that comes from a feminine space.
