PorTraiT, Carter WEILERT, 2022
From speed up and take your time. I am from never, never, never give in with power and resilience. I’m from New Fairfield and Cape May, Deep snow and calm evenings. From the lip my brother bit when he fell off his bike To the mouth I covered when I saw him at the door. In my night table is a tri-fold wallet reminding myself that I need to grow up soon, A debit card inside the first fold to prepare myself for expenses that life will bring. I am from those moments-- snapped before I budded-- leaf-fall from the family tree.
