SNOT

Stanza 3

While the world turns 

      and eats itself alive,

the stale breath of slow suicide hangs low in the air.

 

Let me wind a necklace of black jet and raven hair.

Stanza 3 leaves what we know, to dive into the unseen and journey beyond the THRESHOLD into the realm of grief that remains hidden.​

 

SNOT pierces the membrane of the unacceptable, grotesque face of sorrow. As we stay with what is raw and honest, the relationship between grief and time become apparent. ​Here, we find the dynamics of grief are at once deeply rooted in the ancient, yet have a profound connection to the future - and gives rise to rebirth and new life.​​​

 

Unexpected nuances within the expression of grief at this depth deliver a storyline that pays particular attention to our relationship with the future, the children to come - and our home, this earth.
