A Lullaby Of Lost Love
Joshua Goode, USA
|As a Texan it is difficult for me to
understand an event of this magnitude and the rippling aftereffects.
To better understand and access this tragedy I used familiar imagery
to make this literally ‘hit home’; envisioning its destruction
and grasping desperately at the remains. A lullaby of lost love.
Yet, no matter how engrossed in the book I became, at the end it
is still an illusion and all I cherish are still a reality.
