crumbs

Narinda, ,

She’ll say it’s too late

and you’ll half-believe her
and the other half

will keep wondering
while she
keeps wandering

and you’ll follow her

not quite
sure why

Like she had been
dropping crumbs
behind her

for you to
follow

as the story goes

she was headed to
a house of sweets

and you thought
you were meant
to save her
from the witch

you didn’t know

she wanted
to get burned
all along

and this
wasn’t the
same story
at all.

I graduated from UC Irvine in 2007, moved to Los Angeles, and worked with arts/community organizations throughout the city from 2007-2012. Most formative have been my experiences with Tuesday Night Project and Asian American lesbian web series That's What She Said. Recently, I was a First-Year Public Ally and S. Mark Taper Foundation Fellow working as a case manager with homeless and low-income seniors in Downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row. I'm currently spreading roots to Oakland, CA while continuing to be very much in love with Los Angeles.
