STARTER 

Ingredients:

150 milliliters of:
‘(Don’t) Collapse, roll and drop in case of a fire leave all belongings behind’

250 grams of:
‘One finger, one knuckle deep.
Steady hands and a comment from the sea.’

A sprinkle of:
‘Old, not wise but scattered, changed, not different.
Transformed, not updated’

400 grams of:
‘Começa: When I am without me I miss my mother, my brother more.
I plant strategies to crave less (more)’






MAIN 

Ingredients

600 grams of:
Walk slow; a shifting whisper gives way to mutterance and utterings; have you heard the small sound?
The walking words and hum over each missing vowel, each morsel quiet over the unspeaking seas.

20 millilitres of:
I am the id; Identification Card, the thing we bury and pull up to become ourselves in one shining page of a passport.
The ID the ground, the ID the ground, my Identification only in the id.

A dash of:
An old arrangement that lists the places and people you have been - interject against the long and flowing snake thing of a place and you will be free.

50 grams of:
Back in the ancient soil, there was a word for Home synonymous with what we breathe; Σπίτι.




DESSERT 

Ingredients

300 grams of:
Embrace nonsense - make sense of the noise — be the gooey inner.

200 milliliters of:
The fields speak secrets.
Let’s remember the names of people before the names of places.
People as places.
Places as people.
The rain seeps into both.
Beneath you lies the sound of ancestry.

A pinch of:
They call you rat with the tip of their pointed tongues.
Your body is pre-punctured, evades the daggering.
Laughter is your friend as you stare at an empty fridge.
Four babybels glisten in the twilight.
Wax front, undressed.

750 grams of:
The sticky breath sinks lower, coco o momento passivo, passes through the nostril into meditative longing.
Brief, thick and heavy like an underlined word consumed into the body, where your memory rests placid.
