You
Yanked and
yerked out of Yugoslavia.
Yearning for yummy yesterday, for yellow yolky yarn of yeasty youth. These years of yawning, yelling and yelping like a yeoman to you, like a yak with a yoke on its neck.
Yielding to yonder Y-chromosome to be yin and yang, Yes to Yesenin and the young years.
Yammering: you, you, you, You, you, you, you, you You, you, you, you, you You, you, you, you, you You, you, you, you, you…
An international arts game: art response to an art, in my case a poetic response to a painting. The total number of contributors is artists from 493 cities in 73 countries. The whole project published on April 10, 2021. Facebook group available to join.
