STRANGE WATERS, HOME PLACE POEM by Antu Sorainen 22 August 2026
Explosion
soft rumble
grief in the stomach
life
alive or dead
I don’t touch you
you join the invisible
I make alive
not beautiful
but terrible beauty
wakes me
not you
Life is terrible
the weight in the stomach
lifts
for a moment
it is beautiful
Poem and video and photography: Antu Sorainen
Inspiration from Tagore’s short story Living or Dead? (The Hungry Stones And Other Stories, 1916)
Queer Pain
