Transmigration

Written by Jasmeen Kaur

Illustrated by Rocky Higine

"But life is a dream forgotten."

I, again the sea,

naked

and returned.

A body is existent,

possessive,

but life is

a dream forgotten.

Alongside

wind and without

name, I

breakthrough

like salt dissolves,

only to be

swallowed by god—

an ocean of

consciousness.

Liberation is

not easy—

freedom

requires

freedom

from form.

The world

water wavers.

Shorelines

transgress as I,

erected from sand,

become,

change,

die,

and

become

again.
