About KimJoy
What Sustains
The more I am hollowed by the fire,
the more my ribs spread like the tree of life.
The more I am washed by the tears of others,
the more my heart rounds like an ocean shell.
The more stories I tell of how one picks up another,
the more my hands open like scoops for grain.
To be what others drink,
to be what others stand on
to reach what they love-
we should be so lucky
to be worn to this.
