there is a moment
a speck of light
a breath of joy
till hell breaks loose
burns deep in my throat
and then chaos
ashes on the ground
toxins in the air
I'm lost
Will you come find me?
Flavia Rocha Loures is a Brazilian poet and environmental attorney. She has been writing since the age of 11, and published her first poetry book in 2010, with pieces in both Portuguese and English. Throughout her life, she has felt compelled to seek, write and share poetry. In her works, the author attempts to recreate her small, intimate cosmos, only to, paradoxically, leave it wide open for others to explore. She now lives in Xiamen, China, where she has been organizing the Xiamen Poetry Spree event series since September 2015 – a space where poets and poetry lovers come together to share and rejoice in the power of words.
