Sara Yukiko Mon: 11:11

Last night I saw the same dream I saw the day we met たまたま?Was it luck, chance or fate?

What was the color of the eyes on my favorite doll The taste of my first lipgloss

I can’t pick and choose my memories But I can pick and choose my curtains.

Every bookmark is a wish This is the new me

Priced, priceless

Compressed into the digital My past self, my imagined self, the you and the I

We are all together in the same room Timeless, timestamped

11:11

Maybe it’s coincidence, maybe it’s destiny

dream dream desire despair

It’s never too late to be who you might have been.

Today I threw away a shirt I’ve been wanting to throw away

Objects that once defined me Where are they now?

Displaced from the private
to a place of dreams, delusion

Tangible, intangible

I want every object to be meaningful, to be felt, to be mine
to be shared
