A.P. Bastian2 Comments on Constant Change

Constant Change

how can you be sad in Paris? they ask

because they can’t yet understand the beauty of my sadness. the romance in my tears.

I can’t be who I was last time I stood here

the city stands still in its expansive gray as I change, and then

change again.

A.P. Bastian is a survivor of loss and a befriender of grief. A native Brazilian, she moved to the United States in 1998 completely unfamiliar with the English language. She has since received a bachelor’s degree and a juris doctorate. As a writer, A.P. intimately strings letters together on a variety of topics such as love, loss, and self-empowerment. Through her work she brings to life poetry and prose that reaches hearts and settles in bones with the intent to cultivate connection and infuse poetry into the mundane. She is the author of “A Dirty Word Called Grief,” a book she self-published and in which she openly shares her experiences on life after death. When she is not writing, A.P. is following her passions, some of which include dancing, practicing yoga, chasing sunrises, and making homemade kombucha like the Boulder hippie she has become.

    You write beautiful poetry. Would you write a poem for BLD Lady Project or be interested in writing a blog post for us?
