What You Hold

What You Hold is an interactive poem about memory and loss. Letters vanish from the page, and it is the reader’s task to hover over each word to keep it alive. To resist the steady erosion of thought is both easy and hard. Focus is needed, yet one must also learn to let go. In doing so, the poem becomes an abstract theatre of loss, and the physical effort of maintaining even a single thread of consciousness lays bare the mind’s ceaseless labour.
