TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN 

CONCERN: Whom are we writing letters to when uncertain times of revolution come ? 

Dear whom it may concern, 

I ignore whether there exists such a person

such a person    

such a person. 

But I am still writing to you.

I am wondering,

I am wondering

what is a society ?

I read:

a system reassembling human beings 

together

to gather.

Sometimes,

I search for my siblings in the crowd

full of hope and despair.

I can feel 

their breaths on my neck,

their shadows on my back,

their lights in my night,

but I can’t see their faces.

How could I  

when I barely recognize mine ? 

Sometimes I let a stream

tearing us

apart

a part

Ghosts

pale fears

a crash in my guts

a desert in my flow

a hole in my head.

Where have we been ? 

Kind regards,
