My Collarbone is a deeply introspective piece that explores the fragile connection between the body and perception. The narrative follows a moment of awakening, where touch, light, and sensation blend into a surreal experience. As the protagonist traces their own bones, they confront an overwhelming presence—both physical and emotional—that shatters their sense of self. With haunting imagery and visceral detail, the piece delves into themes of vulnerability, trauma, and the tension between internal and external realities.
The project is part of the subtheme Re-imagining identity through poetry.
