Book remade from what I wrote in the past into a pocket size. A book about my personal story of living in cities near water all my life is hung from the top with its edge touching the surface of the water. The water I keep running away from-the ghost that comes after me, the soil that nourishes me-is slowly permeating, evading, and finally gaining control. My story reveals. The fragmented puzzling and mumbling nonsense.
