My deepest thanks to Greg Pardlo who selected “Water-Light” for @vqr.bsky.social, & to my Living Malungu—too many to name here. Even when we drift apart, we always return to the shared waters that connect us; — to the hold of the ship, so to speak.

I invite you to experience this piece with a calabash or bowl of water nearby, allowing your body to respond to both the physical water & the flowing text.

This work began at the Poets & Scholars Summer Writing Retreat at Rutgers Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice, where (through the piece) we explored water through touch and reflection.
