Tiffany Zarr

My name is Tiffany Zarr. I am a sophomore at University of Colorado at Boulder, majoring in English and Women's Studies. I love reading, writing, and talking about reading and writing. My inspiration comes from that which appears to be ordinary, but is really extraordinary; that which seems simple but has endless depth. My favorite smells are lilacs and rain on concrete. I am a proud member of the SASC community

Counting Space

i breathe in secondhand air,
imagining how it was. 

what will happen when we run out of room to put things
towers built, torn down and rebuilt
bigger, grander, more hollow space to fill
lives built, torn down, and rebuilt
bigger, grander, more hollow space to fill 

those here before were a little braver
a little newer
pavement stood a little thicker then
or maybe not at all
the sky was a little clearer then
a little cleaner
maybe 

brushing shoulders with the past,
corners of time unravel
bleed into one 

as the world breathes in
i listen to children learn to count
empty space
instead of fingers.
