“My editor asks, 'Why does it need to be painful?'
My partner asks, 'Why do you fight so much?'
My audience asks, 'But where is hope in the darkness of your work?'
My ancestors ask, 'Why do you make your hands claw around the lie of your solitude?'
My government asks, 'Why won't you let us use your body to feed the worms?'
I ask, 'What can I write down?”
