Once by Jan Avellana Hongo

artwork and image by Jan Avellana Hongo
once.
a smudge,
a blur—
buttery edges that used to be my life,
meandering,
nebulous.
i watch the ink seep into the fibers
staining them,
leaving a mark—
evidence that i was here,
that i breathed and bled
that I used to
be somebody,
alive and
tenacious,
once.
