Darla Ray, Jonah Everett

by Katrina Sproge

“Darla Ray, Jonah Everett is an admission to missing people from the past and how such feelings can be awakened by the simplest actions and surroundings, and at most unexpected moments. It doesn’t matter if the person one misses is an estranged family member, a former lover or a long-lost friend. It’s the sudden lack of the relationship that makes a human being prone to shock once reminded of that absent someone.

The piece is inspired by my childhood friends and sad eyes at messy parties.“
