Shaman PHOTOGRAPHED BY MICHELLE KIM

If you want to take up space, f irst see how small you are like rocks, honeycombs, and charcoal anchoring, feeding, heating.

In the sky, the clouds get combed like rabbit fur.

If I remember this, I am learning. You place a flowered twig behind my ear. It is a mark of my learning you—of the blue bell. A person small like me, but higher.
