Otherness

Warm surface of sand

touching my skin

as I lean against the turquoise ocean, 

my heart engulfed

almost blinded

by the horizon.

In these rare moments, I have the impression

I’ve found myself in time,

witnessing of breathing inside my chest;

beyond former storms and rage,

a woman of boyish eyes, forgetting

the need,

or the importance,

to be understood. 


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.
