Je me suis embarquée
In solidarity with the world’s 69,000,000 refugees (’18)

“I have embarked
on a ship which dances and rolls from side to side and pitches and rocks.

My feet have forgotten
the Earth and its paths;
the supple waves
have taught me other cadences

More beautiful than
the rhythm of human songs

To live among you; had I a soul?”

-Jean de La Ville de Mirmont
