So I’ve been running on empty for some time, and

now I’m out

                    of anger:

Is this the beginning of memory? Who should

I ask? Who should be

                    asking?

- Ahmad Almallah

I wanted to write a love poem but instead

I watched the news

- Ahmad Almallah

in this house of fact, this house of ruin

- ahmad almallah 

stop telling me that I should no longer lie to myself, I know

I look ridiculous holding onto this memory or that

- Ahmad Almallah

only owning past echoes

- ahmad almallah

I don't look for quick solutions. But you won't understand. 

I want to struggle with lots of different ideas.

KAKERU

You want to struggle?

OTONE

That's right. I enjoy it. That's the nature of life.

We’d rather have the iceberg than the ship,

although it meant the end of travel.

Um estranho abandono estava

ali, palpável

After Giannisi

Our selves want to be silent though

language itself doesn't so how to

solve this problem they talk to a bot which

means they don't talk to anyone language

goes on

my seeing became too large for speech

- dante alighieri

although my vision is almost

entirely faded, droplets of its sweetness come

- dante alighieri

Because the moment is inconceivable

not present at all

the “present”

“that which is here”

space in place of time

the tongue speaks in absence

- Phoebe Giannisi

The word by itself germinates

exists

beyond our decision for silence
