409 days

In these long days and short years, what memories do I hold onto,

and what do I allow to drift away? The choice is mine, and it matters

because holding on through observation is how I keep what time tries to erase.

409 days ago, Raia Was performed at

Ki Smith Gallery, on the Lower East Side of New York City.

A place filled with the past of others, those who, 

like her, walked along the fault line of their own voice.

She played beautifully that night. I witnessed through a lens,

imperfect in my technicalities, but perfect in my purpose:

to keep the moment.

Today, like other days I go back to it. I look back,

again and again, as the memory drifts further away. 

I do this because the answers are there. The feelings too.

I seek them because I need them. Sometimes the present overwhelms

and so I go back to a place that makes me feel settled.

Home…Raia Was’s music is always that place for me. 

409 days ago, Raia Was performed a piano-composed rendition of her track Money Worry.

Thank you, Raia Was, for inviting me in. For inviting us in.
