to all the broken men
25–03–23 
When I close my eyes, the angels come down to my rescue. I see them now. They speak to me in my sleep. In my dreams I metamorphasize into an infinite light that shines down on this planet, drying the blood of broken-hearted men, collecting all of their unshed tears. I dream that my arms are wide enough to hold them as they stumble in the darkness, attempting to assert themselves in the void. I dream that my heart is the ozone that covers this planet and my love is the air that they breathe.

“The concept of the self as a separate, monistic, self-enclosed ‘I’ first came into being during the Reformation and the Renaissance. (...) Easily combined with other words, the prefix self expressed a new way of thinking about the world, where the individual was acquiring great significance. The self always related persons to its own identity: self-regard, self-destruction, self-love. From then on, the individual ‘I,’ separated from the rest of the world, became the chief perspective from which we viewed reality.”
— Olga Tokarczuk

— Herbie Hancock

I wonder what image Joanne held onto of me. If only I could peer into her prism, into what remained. What traces were there of the young and uptight American fidgeting around a pot of coffee, speaking French clumsily like a cat with a dead bird in its mouth?

My life as a city-dwelling gringa turned me into a dull knife blade: I wanted it too, that sharpness, the ability to see what others cannot see.
