Finding myself
Above the Baltic
Between Saint Petersburg and Paris
Where is the sky
Where is the sea
Imagined arms in first position
A ballet beginner
Embracing a ball of light:
I’m not a nationality
I’m not a passport
I’m not a language
A country
A political party
A religion
An addresss
A family member
A marital status
A gender
A weight
A height
A skin color
A diploma
A job title
A news cycle…
Maybe a visitor
A soul in a body
A person
Spaciousness
