“Time tells me what I am. I change and I am the same. / I empty myself of my life and my life remains.”

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

--Albert Camus

===

I remember being 12 years old, on a boat with others who were actively fishing, drinking, and getting farmer’s tans in their T-shirts. Then there was me: hunkered down under the awning of the pontoon boat with my copy of The Stranger. I remember my stepfather calling me a strange child as he chugged his beer and reeled in a largemouth bass. How I had wished then that Albert Camus were my father. (In truth, that any one else were my father.) And so I spent a great deal of my early life embedded in a physical reality vastly different from my interior landscape—and thus at a young age came to know intimately the solitude of liminal spaces.

Tomorrow they’ll dress me in ash for the sunrise, they’ll fill my mouth with flowers. I’ll learn to sleep inside the memory of a wall, on the breath of a dreaming animal.

Alejandra Pizarnik, from Shadow from Days to Come

First, I emptied the closets of your clothes, threw out the bowl of fruit, bruised from your touch, left empty the jars you bought for preserves. The next morning, birds rustled the fruit trees, and later when I twisted a ripe fig loose from its stem, I found it half eaten, the other side already rotting, or-like another I plucked and split open-being taken from the inside: a swarm of insects hollowing it. I'm too late, again, another space emptied by loss. Tomorrow, the bowl I have yet to fill.
