“I have been thinking a lot about lungs; as part of a long-term project.
I’ve been working on regarding the precarious state of the world’s oceans,
which are considered the lungs of the planet;
as Willie K and another old friend die of lung cancer; through the news reports of COVID-19
decimating the victims’ lungs as they gasp for breath; as George Floyd cried out “I can’t breathe”.
I dreamed I was floating, face-down, searching for something. I woke with a start
when the dream became a nightmare and I couldn’t breathe…I was drowning.”
