Gopuram

Gopuram* Ana Paula Arendt A gateway to heaven amidst the confusion of the world, heaven: a clean, sacred space where shoes are left behind. Heaven: where prayers are heard with compassion and reverence. This gateway is pure bliss: a vertical mountain covered with the legends of those who fought for justice and light.

Private Deixis

Private deixis Ana Paula Arendt I’m stretching my body in yoga movements. Suddenly, the verses stretch too, reaching where they hit the most: The inner ground where all poems are already written.
