‘LILIPIPI first piece write for Eileen’ with Christian Nguyen    Poetry performance    2024    Hát nhỏ như lời nguyện cầu    Sài Gòn    Việt Nam 

I came up with the poem written for Eileen - Mohammed’ younger sister. As Christian - my partner/LILIPIPI project collaborator has been trying to help them for a while through Hoai Phuong fundraiser, we vaguely know her through pictures, videos, and stories. 

People say poetry is born for imagination. Probably not in this case as it is the only thing I can do.

Chrisitan heard the poem in Vietnamese together with the English translation, he came up with a piece of music along with it.

We presented at a small gathering in Saigon in 2024, organized by a young comrade who contacted me a long time ago. It was warm, emotional, and hopeful in despair.
