“It shows me versions of myself:

one with wings,

one weeping in black oil,

one without scars,

one who smiles like she's never been invoiced”

This is just such phenomenally expressive writing, despite being so economical… or perhaps because of it.

Fusun, I don’t know how your brain conjures these thoughts and images. But I hope that one day you are widely anthologized.

Everytime I see a post I have to stop and read it and most every time I can’t stop reading until I’m done ! Your writing conjures up images that are very moving not necessarily because of content (that is amazing as well) but the words you use to build those images … Incredible Füsun 💖
