← Takaisin / Back Asiya Wadud echo exhibit

latent, week four
by Asiya Wadud and Tiago Martins Pinto



every facade
becomes the fall
	     folded in the envelope
the edge sealed and cleaned

prosaic but
to bear witness
present the spleen as
the ascendent
organ
present it as
selfhood
mirrored 
bodyweight
to see it doubled 
and reflexive
like any covenant
made under
orders 
we take careful warning
of each
crack the face
makes— studied in its departure
double helixed in its duty

we have folded the map
and have given it
to the child
let the child read it lengthwise
through all the waterways

prosaic but
to bear witness
