Layli Long Soldier

                                                    As we

                                        embrace          resist

                          the future       the present      the past

             we work          we struggle          we begin          we fail

​

to understand       to find        to unbraid        to accept        to question

              the grief          the grief           the grief          the grief

                          we shift         we wield           we bury​

                                    into light               as ash

                                                       across our faces

                              

                             OBRIGAÇÕES 2

                                             Como nós

                                      abraçados      resistimos

                           o futuro         o presente           o passado

       nós trabalhamos   nós lutamos    nós começamos     nós falhamos

compreender        encontrar            desafiar       aceitar        questionar

              a dor                    a dor                    a dor                 a dor

                       nós   mudamos  nós empunhamos  nós enterramos

                                     na luz               como na cinza

                                                        em redor de nossos rostos
