The plane aterriza
in soft grass. O verde se mistura
com a mirage of the asphalt.

Granito, granite.

Ela tenta controlar the destiny
in this foreign place.

The red purse weights
and the couro is soft.

It’s what she’s left
crossing borders, her papers,
precisão de nomes.

But not her future.

Welcome.

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.
